Didn't even want a spider, the Mrs was taking her time in buying a Bearded Dragon and I ended up buying one ha. Since I've had him I've read pages and watched videos but as your aware you can read so much information that isn't true.He's not very big, I'd say about a 1.5" Got it in this tiny pot what the shop gave me and I've been told to keep him in it until he basically out grows it. That correct? The box is like 6" x 3" x 2"I'm feeding it small crickets but I'm guy loading with Prima dry fish food and cucumber and carrot swapped every night. I've got half a water ball in there as well. Substrate is some wood stuff (should of asked what it's called) looked into buying more when I transfer him to his main tank, coco fibre? Read that it needs to be very dry but the stuff I've found has be broken down with water (brick form)I've been told he eats every other day but yesterday I gave him 3 crickets and he ate them all. Separate times though. Good or bad?Handling, when can I get him out? Too soon, I'm scared he's gonna dart off if I get him outAny other tipsThank you in advance <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
