Hello world! I just wanted to join to take a look at what it takes to have a tarantula. I was just looking at tarantulas the other day and saw an Antilles and died. Those colours are beautiful! There's a reptile show coming near me in a few months and I will be deciding/setting up if I do decide to get one. I do have a few questions that will be pretty simple to answer for now.
Is there such thing as too big of tank? If I do get one I will want it to live it's best life. I'm a go big or go home kind of person. My house is ferret proof but my 3 fuzzies stay in a room unless I supervise the outting. Their room looks like a cosmic adventures. This would be the same for a tarantula... Except without cat trees and ball pits.
That being said. I have 3 ferrets and I make sure the humidity and temperature of the house is set to keep them (and me) healthy... Well my boyfriend does because I don't touch all that stuff.. I'm to busy playing with ferrets. Is it possible to keep a tank a certain way and not mess with my boyfriends perfect humidity balance in the house?
Do tarantulas actually like being handled and exploring? Would they rather just be left alone and deal with the giant hand that cleans their home? I don't have a fear of spiders but I have a fear of dropping a big one and it running away. Not only is that dangerous with ferrets but it will keep my stepson up at night.
Do I have to feed it caterpillars or those worms that look like caterpillars.. I have a fear of caterpillars and that's a deal breaker.
I think that's all my silly questions for now. Short answers are good. Like I said, I will be doing a lot of research before I get one. I saw a few topics like plants and tank decor and setting up a tank... But it's bed time and I have a whole forum to read later.
