So I picked up a G. Rosea from the local pet shop today, and after getting her home, about an hour or so later, i dropped a super worm in with her and with my A. Avic, they both decided to eat! Its the first time I've gotten my A. Avic to eat... Pretty good day all around

They look great, but change out that substrate. Get some eco earth in there.

the base is a mix of organic(no fertilizers or chemicals)potting soil/peat/vermiculite, i throw a lite layer of the reptile bark for show, i like how it looks. They don't sale eco earth around me, I have to drive about an hour to get a 12.00 dollar bag of eco earth over the (around) 8 bucks I spend on the mix I get from the flower shop( its also sterilized).
When I go to the reptile show this weekend, I'll pick a bag up tho and give it a try..
I haven't had any problems with the substrate mix I use, I used a similar mix in the past... Is eco earth really that much better? I'm by no means an expert and take all advice to keep my Tarantulas happy and healthy.
Thanks in advance for the advice .

Repti-Bark, is about the worst Sub you can have for a T ( aside from cedar). I strongly suggest removing it. The soil/peat/vermiculite is fine.

Fair enough. was only cosmetic anyways, not really serving a purpose, lol.

Thanks! not usually a fan of G. Rosea's, but this little one is full of character. My A. Avic is finally coming around, thinking she might be a he tho....

Some roses can be quite cheeky and entertaining.

Your A. avic is definitely a mature male so don't be too worried about him not eating often.

Lol, my girlfriend has kinda of adopted the A. Avic as her own, of course thats from a distance or when im interacting with him. So shes a little bummed that its a male. I knew I messed up on sexing him a few days after bringing him home. but its cool, maybe I can find him a nice lady. lol
