Hello everyone!

[Itsybitsyspider]

New to the spider world! I have a Mexican red knee tarantula and a male and female jumping spider. Getting an old world sling soon. A blue baboon. I am an amateur when it comes to spiders but I find it very interesting. Looking forward to learning about a creature that unfortunately have been feared and given a bad rap. They are beautiful as well as fascinating. I'm just disappointed I didn't get them sooner!

Can you send us a photo of your red knee?

I will most definitely tomorrow. Right now it is dining on some crickets. Still don't know sex if it. Already in live with it! . I just ordered a texas brown tarantula (Aphonopelma hentzi) as I hear they are good for beginners and very docile, and a blue baboon T. Has anyone ever fed theres a pinkie mouse? Just curious! My Ts are too small right now but would like to know for future reference. Thanks!

Pinkie mouses are for bigger tarantulas.

 

[Itsybitsyspider]

Oh ok thank you for the info.

Hello and welcome.
Just a word of warning, if you ever do feed a pinkie mouse to a T be ready for a very smelly parcel being left for you.

A new meaning for "special delivery"

Also avoid more than the once-a-year pinkie (vertebrate) due to potential for calcium stuffing
