[QUOTE="Arachnoclown, post: 139405, member: 27444"] Beautiful spider you have there. My rosea has gone over a year without eating...just drinking water. They dont need sponges to drink. Sponges are nasty. A deep water dish overflowed once a week works well. I've seen mine drink from the substrate and moss also. Both are better to drink from then sponges. Tarantulas dont have sponges in the wild. ;) A tarantula that is in possible premolt shouldn't be handled. They are growing on the inside and can be subjected to damage. One other thing to keep in mind is what's on your hands when you touch your spider. Cleaners, soaps, perfumes, insecticides, ect.... Welcome to the group!!!:beer: [/QUOTE]
