Guess who got a....

tarantula!
i got a baby pink zebra beauty today. its pretty tiny. tiny bit smaller then a nickle maybe. id been looking at tarantulas on the internet and decided this is the kind i want. i didnt go to the pet store planning on buying it...we were in the area and i stopped in and they had what i wanted. for a good price.
its in a little critter keeper with a few inches of pete moss. does a spider this small need a water dish or is misting good enough? im reading through care sheets right now (ive already read them but im reading to see al the specifics)
well ill prolly have some more questions later. too bad theres only a few people on this forum with these things.


^it needs a name^

on second thought...maybe ill wait till i know what sex it is to name it. which will give me a while to think of names! lol

i think if you saw it in person youd like it. it so tiny....it looks almost fluffy. id name it fluffy if i didnt already have a snake name fluffy....lol. i know i said its like the size of a nickle but...its more like the end of your pinky finger...well, my pinky finger anyway. ah never mind. lol

Awesome Mike! I am beginning to become more fond of tarantulas since I got my Pink-Toe.

[Mike]

they had pink toes there. and they had alot of pink-toes at another place i went to. i like the way they look when they are small. but i dont like the amount of hair they have as adults. but i do think they are very interesting. ill probably have one some day. if i get real into tarantulas. do you handle your pink-toe?

Fuzzy!!!!

I think at that size, they just drink off water droplets in the cage, but Marcus (FourFeathers) is the T. expert in here.

Congrats!!!!! Looking forward to seeing pics as it gets bigger/prettier!

I'll wait for Marcus because he is def. the expert, but with all the T's I've had I would say that at that size you can mist the SIDE of the enclosure for the spider to drink the droplets. Please do not mist directly on the spider, (large or small) as this can be very stressful / painfull.
This is just what I've learned, Marcus may know better
Thanks
