I got ababy Mexican red knee (Brachypelma smithi) very recently however there is an abundance of information on them online. Since I live in South Africa me and my dad decidedto go out and see if we could catch a baboon spider... We did... Two infact.The first is very small with a legspan of about 3cm. The other is very big (we caught itfrom it's nest) whose leg span im not going to bother guessing but it's body and it's abdomen isaround 4 or 5cm and its big.. Anyhow, there is virtually no information online about keeping them.. howshould i set everything up? any advice is appreciated <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
