    Pink Toe Tarantula

    My first Tarantula, a Pink Toe:



    I know the very basics: 75-85 Degrees, High Humidity. I need to read the care sheet, but in the meantime any helpful tips would be great. Thanks.

    My pink toe is my favorite because he's so mild-mannered. I've noticed that as he gets older he goes higher and higher in the tank. When he was smaller, he actually used a log hide on the ground.

    Re: Pink Toe Tarantula

    I read that the temp range should be 75-85 degrees. How sensitive will my Pink Toe be to temperature changes?

    Re: Pink Toe Tarantula

    There's some debate surrounding the concept of target temperatures for tarantulas. In general, if it's a comfortable temperature for you then it will be fine for your tarantula, as long as you don't actually start to feel cold. To the best of my knowledge a bit of a drop in temperature every now and then is no big deal.

    Congrats on the new little pink toe! Quite a looker!
