    Chaco Golden Knee

    I'm about to pick up a Chaco Golden Knee, and I'm wondering if anybody here has any experience with them and if there are any tips I may find useful! I've been reading a lot, and I'm quite excited.

    He was even smaller than that when I got him (her?)! 😵

    I don't know if I could handle having a new-to-this-world sling, so tiny.

    Grammostola pulchripes are definitely the teddy bears of the tarantula world. I love the progression photos! Especially from cute little sling to looking like a "real" spider

    The best advice I can offer you is not to feed mice to tarantulas. Since they're inverts, tarantulas have no need for the calcium that is found in rodents and consuming it can cause them health problems such as a wet (difficult) molt that they might die in. I know in the wild they can resort to eating mice if necessary, but as a pet owner, if you want your tarantula to live a long life, it's best to feed insects such as crickets, meal (super) worms, silk worms, etc. Enjoy your tarantula, the Grammostola pulchripes (Chaco golden knee) is an excellent choice for your first one!
