Hello, I purchased a Rose Hair Tarantula from a flea market about 7 months ago. When I bought it, it wasn’t very well taken care of. It didn’t have water or food. But it ate and drank a lot the first night. Since then it's been doing well. Eats almost every week and drinks a lot. I have it in a 6-gallon critter keeper with a locking screen top. It molted once and looked fine after, but it changed from the light brown to a dark almost black shade. It hasn’t molted in about 2 months but it has this weird bald spot now. It seemed to develop over night and got about twice as big as it originally was. I have a picture but it's hard to take so sorry it's hard too see. I've heard they kick off hairs to defend them selves not sure if that's what happened.
Thanks, Andrew
