[QUOTE="DustyD, post: 220187, member: 36911"] Thanks for reaching out. I think it says a lot about you that you are interested in that tarantula’s care. There is some work ahead of you though, as I see it. That tarantula seems to have lived a long time in less than ideal conditions. And maybe it could live the rest of its life like that. But over the years better husbandry practices have become mainstream. Terrestrial tarantulas need substrate. Some like to dig, hide, bulldoze. One concern is that a tarantula could climb high and fall, so it is recommended that the height of the enclosure be about 1.5 times the spider’s leg length from the substrate. [/QUOTE]
