Message: <blockquote data-quote="foritxxar" data-source="post: 43097" data-attributes="member: 3393">I have two pulchripes, of very different sizes (one is 2", the other .5"). I keep my sling in a clear vial with holes drilled in it. It's probably 2" diameter. Bone dry substrate is fine, it's a desert tarantula and handles dry humidity well. Just mist lightly once a week or so on the side of the enclosure.Flightless fruit flies work well as feeders. They can be found online or off.It doesn't need any decor and will simply dig it's own burrow. A small piece of cork won't hurt.You can hold it. They're slow, docile, and very cute. Just be careful. I feed mine twice weekly, more if it will accept it.Transfer when it's near 1". You want an enclosure about 2-3x wider than the spider.They're great spiders. Super sweet. You'll love it. Extremely hardy and excellent little bulldozers. Attached is a pic of my first one when I got it in November and now.</blockquote>
