New here and new to Tarantulas

[Naevia]

Hi my name is Naevia. I just recently acquired a Rose hair tarantula. I find her fascinating but yet I'm a bit scared of her right now. I'm hoping to learn how to give her the best care possible and best life possible that I can provide for her.

Welcome. Rose hairs are a desert species, so keep the substrate dry and keep a shallow water dish in the enclosure.

 

[Naevia]

What is the best substrate to use in their enclosure?

 

[HungryGhost]

Eco Earth works the best for me. It's made of coconut fiber.

Hi Naevia, I also like to use Eco Earth but add vermiculite to it.

Thank y'all I will definitely be switching her to eco earth soon. The people I got her from had her on cypress mulch.

Welcome! Be careful, the most dangerous thing about tarantulas is how addicting they are.
