I've offered to take them in due to the neglect they were getting else where. I've asked about how long they've been in the environment and how old they are, which I have no answer to. The Chilean rose looks fully grown and the LP looks tiny and slim. I'm really worried about both. The vivariums I was given are barely filled an inch of soil/ bark, they both have been barely fed or even given water. They both currently have shallow water bowls and only the LP has a hide. Im planning on purchasing better vivariums and a hide for the Chilean rose, additionally a better and much deeper soil. I've never owned a tarantula before, any tips would be helpful. I will also buy food, planning on buying locust and mealworms.</p></blockquote><p></p>
