So, are there any husbandry concerns associated with Tarantulas post-meal like with herps??

No handling for 48 hours, etc??


And how often should I feed him?? 3 crickets once a week??

Idk. I don't really handle any of mine. They're more "fun to look at but not touch" pets.

I would do one cricket once a week.

I know that...im just wondering if I shouldn't do stuff in the tank (misting, etc) for the next few days, or if hes OK


And should I remove the dead cricket from the tank??

Oh. Nah you should be fine!

Remove the food leftovers when you can. Helps cut back on anything unwanted from finding a food source.

Thank you guys SOOOooooo much for helping me out; I wouldn't have survived without you:bow:

I feel that now I know he will eat that he has a good chance of making it (as long as I don't screw something up), so thank you for helping me get through this first stage.

Next up: me freaking out about him molting!! :gj:

how often do the molt?? (my friend was actually asking me this, and I didn't know what to tell him)

I think you'll get the same answer as the "how often should my -insert reptile- shed" threads. Depends on how often they eat, individual growth rate, phases of the moon, etc.
