Hey guys I'm new to the tarantula hobby. And I'll go ahead and say it when I bought it from the pet store the sign said Brachypelma Smithi but it might be a Hamorii I don't really know the difference of them. I've tired looking them up but alot of dead ends and some say there the same thing. So I'm sorry if I got the name wrong I would love to learn and know more about the subject. But anyways I bought the T Feb 15 2020 it molted the 1st night I bought it home, but it hasn't molted since. And it's June 10 2020. I'm starting to worry because I read that they molt alot when there young. Temp is 64-70 degrees and humidity stays between 60-70. It only eats about a meal worm or cricket about 2 to 3 weeks I try to feed it every week. But i leave it in for a day if it doesnt eat it i take it out. I cut the meal worms in half cuz they where bigger. Again because they said not to leave it in there cuz it will stress the T out. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong. Or if it's normal. But I'm stressing out because I love him/her(haven't figured out the gender yet) and I don't want it to be unhealthy.
This was the 1st day I got my T
this is the T now.
it's a exo terra terrarium, cork bark hide that I buried in at a angle, coco fiber with zoo med terrarium moss. And that water bowl.
And I don't handle the T since it's so small I'm afraid I might hurt it. And it's never gave me a treat pose or acted aggressively in anyway. Thats all the info I know to give you guys. Any info would be much appreciated and thank you for even taking the time to read this.
