I recently received a little bundle of joy for Christmas  (a young female pink toe, named Lemon :] ) and because I want her to be happy and healthy, I have a few questions for you veterans. A little background: shes got a 10gal terrarium with some cork bark and fake vines to hide in, and a heating pad on the more open side of the tank.  Anyway, so a few concerns I have: My house is very cold in the winter and dry, I've been misting her tank with a spray bottle but she has been hanging out on the side of the tank opposite the heating pad (perhaps because there is a more "safe" corner with the vines and bark for her to hide in), so I'm wondering if I should move the heating pad? Also I retrieved her from the pet store last Saturday and put two crickets in her tank; she has eaten neither and given the temperature of my house I'm worried about her. Of course I JUST got her and have never had a tarantula of my own, any advice I can get would be mega-appreciated. Thanks a lot!</blockquote>
