[QUOTE="Sloshedpirate, post: 23928, member: 2688"] I picked up my first Tarantula today, the common beginner Chilean Rose haired T. Hopefully it's a she! So I'll just refer to her as that lol. Well she's very young and small at the moment so even if it is a male I'm pretty excited to have them for at least a few years yet. She is an absolute sweet heart and has no problem at all being handled. At the shop where I got her she waltzed right onto my hand with only one light poke behind her. At the moment she's roaming the setup I gave her and has taken an interest in the hollowed skull I put in but she's yet to realize it's meant to be a hiding spot but still found her own way to claim it as her own. My camera can't seem to catch her color enough, her actual body is the most pink I've ever seen a rose hair T, it's neon pink that reflects any light and shines bright she is absolutely gorgeous. Well here are some pictures of her set up that I've made from an old fish tank of ours. Painted two of the four walls mossy green with some brown, put in some fake vines which she has also checked out and the skull. I also have a shallow dish with some water and a sponge and made a compacted mound in one corner out of view in case she ever decides she feels like burrowing a little deeper. The substrate is already 2-3 inches deep well packed. Ps: The light isn't on all the time and it's one of the spiral kinds that emits less heat, just turned it on for some better shots. I'm extremely excited to start the hobby and I have more tanks so I'm sure I'll be getting some more species too. Personally I enjoy making and decorating the tank as much as I'm enjoying owning my tarantula![ATTACH=full]4983[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]4984[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]4985[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]4986[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
