Message: <blockquote data-quote="garrenn" data-source="post: 12591" data-attributes="member: 701">Just got my first tarantula! A cute little g.rosae. Since I don't plan on handling my tarantulas all that often, I'm not too worried about the mood swings, and I understand that they tend to fast quite a bit and I'm hopefully prepared for all that.I'm being forced to use a bark substrate because they were out of everything else, but I plan on mixing myself something better for the T. I haven't decided on a name yet.Is there a way to detect the gender before a molt? I'm still pretty new to this and haven't really gotten to sexing yet.</blockquote>
