My son received a (Mexican Red Knee) from his grandfather for Christmas.‍<img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="♀️" title="Female sign    :female_sign:" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/7.0/png/unicode/64/2640.png" data-shortname=":female_sign:" /> Needless to say, I’m trying to keep it alive. I just found this form and hoping to find help. The Tarantula looks to be very young. And we believe it molted while it was being delivered. I’m learning a lot but see that people have their different opinions about the care of them. I ordered a book (Tarantulas Keeper). And we are in contact with the breeder. We were told that the substrate needed to be change as soon as possible. There is a sand substrate in the enclosure now. Anyways, We have got a lot to learn. SO HELLO</blockquote>
