Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jacob Kyle" data-source="post: 43720" data-attributes="member: 3736"><p>Hey everyone my name is Jake and I just got my first tarantula on Friday! I ordered it from Jamie's Tarantulas and it's a Salmon Pink Birdeater (Lasiodora Parahybana) sling that's about 3/4 inches. I have no complaints, it came safe and sound even after being 3 days in the mail. Although i am new to owning a tarantula i have wanted one for many years so i have done my research, currently i am being a helicopter parent because it hasn't eaten yet. I have only offered it pre killed 2" superworms, and I am still learning how to keep the humidity in the right range of 60-80% (my problem is having it too high around 90-100% after misting). Any tips / knowledge / judgement that anyone wants to give me i appreciate.</p></blockquote><p></p>
