[QUOTE="Magee, post: 185554, member: 34993"] Hi there! So I picked up this curly hair tarantula from a craiglist posting in my area that wasn't taking care of it and I have a couple questions as the new owner. I would love any advice and guidance the community can give me. Here are some of my main questions: [B]- As pictured, my tarantula has a bald spot [/B]from its previous ownership. Is this from stress? Or what is it from? Is there anything I can do to help it? [ATTACH type="full"]51960[/ATTACH] [B]- I just rehoused my lil mans from a 5 gal. tank to a 10 gal. tank [/B]and the 5 gal. tank had a mesh lid that my tarantula loved hanging upside down from. I read that was dangerous though because their feet can get stuck so I moved him to a 10 gal. tank and got a custom acrylic lid with ventilation holes. He's still trying to get upside down on the new lid? Is this normal? It's only day one of him being in his new tank so I'm just watching him acclimate and go around. He was pretty active looking around, and there's even some webbing on the floor so I'm hoping this is a good sign? Pictured in his new setup: [ATTACH type="full"]51961[/ATTACH] [B]- Also, regarding his new setup: [/B]I have him in a 10 gal. glass aquarium with eco earth substrate with some fake flowers.
