Message: <blockquote data-quote="Amandasleigh" data-source="post: 121764" data-attributes="member: 27180">Hey Everyone!Thanks for adding me to the forum! I LOVE tarantulas, I have a red knee that was my first one given to me as a birthday present as a spiderling, about 8 years ago, from Ken the bug guy! And a chilean rose hair that I received as a gift from a former student. I've gotten a few spiderlings from Ken the bug guy.com and those for whatever reason, I had 2 green bottle blue's that I can't keep happy for longer than 2 years.(I don't know why) didn't make it. :-( I found out that the flightless fruit flies could have been the reason that the ones I lost were because the fruit flies weren't good for tarantulas. I'm still interested in getting others, just maybe not as small, or new to life. Anyone have any advise on how to keep a spiderling alive and happy? I REALLY like the colorful ones.Or any suggestions on ones that are colorful and fairly hearty?Thanks!</blockquote>
