[QUOTE="HungryGhost, post: 29173, member: 2661"] Sorry but there is quite a bit wrong with this "correct" guide. 1- you never mention the Latin name Grammastola rosea which will put an end to mix ups with common names. 2- females can live 20+ years, males have a much shorter life span 3- wood hides are not ideal, if they are made of pine or cedar they contain oils that are irritating to tarantulas 4- you never mention temperature 5- you do not mention what type of lid to use on the cage and ventilation 6- feeding amount is different as per the age of the tarantula 7- mirror patch and urticating hairs have nothing to do with each other 8- super worms are not an ideal food choice, crickets and roaches are the way to go 9- all tarantulas CAN bite 10- you never mention what the substrate is made of 11- if you think the water dish is too big why have it in the video? 12- no mention of pre and post molt behavior/care On the plus side you did mention to keep them in a dry environment. Sorry, it is far from the definitive care guide. [/QUOTE]
