Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kurt Nelson" data-source="post: 2387" data-attributes="member: 394">So clearly I am new to owning Tarantula's to begin with so first off greetings and what awesome creatures they are.  I have done some research but I'm a little worried.  The guy at the pet store told me to feed it 5 crickets, but instead I got it some worms because I was a little afraid of cricket breakouts and whatnot.  I put about 4 in because the worms have burrowed into the coconut husk stuff I have put down for it. I'm pretty sure it's on it's first worm, I haven't dug around for any and it hasn't really moved since I got it.. that being yesterday, but it seems to still be eating the worm after 24 hours.  It has got a nice little silk web going on and seems to have its face buried in it.  I'm just wondering if this is normal. It's a pink toed tarantula, very gorgeous and seems pretty young still.  I have named it sir legsalot for kicks lol.  Only name my girlfriend would let me name it.  She didn't even want me to get it, but I put my foot down! As soon as it molts I'll be posting more pictures for you guys to help with sexing it. Attached are pictures of it. <img src="http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p225/Dirtkurt/photo1.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p225/Dirtkurt/photo2.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p225/Dirtkurt/photo3.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
