No problem, they are SO easy to take care of.Originally Posted by AdamJB
I'm part of Arachnoboards for my tarantulas, there is a care sheet for G. roseas that everyone really likes.. here is the link;

This care sheet is HUGE, but if you take the time to read it, it will tell you everything you could possibly need to know about G. roseas.
I'm not sure if it tells you about cage size.. its very similar to snakes though, you do not want the cage too big because it will stress them out. Since this is a terrestrial tarantula, you do want to make sure that the distance from the ground to the top of the cage is no more than 1x-2x the length of the tarantula. Any higher and the tarantula could fall from the top of the cage and burst its abdomen open.
Here are some cages I use that would work well for a G. rosea;
Kritter Keeper - these work well because they come in sizes that are not too tall, cost about $10, and are highly ventilated, which cuts down humidity.
Sterilite container - these are also come in sizes that are not too tall, and since the tops are flat plastic the tarantula cannot climb on them. these do require some drilling though, especially if you're getting a G. rosea, you'll have to make sure that there is enough ventilation so that it doesn't get too humid inside of the enclosure.
Food container - these are also good for the same reasons of the sterilite container, but also require drilling
If you have any questions after you read that please let me know, I love talking about tarantulas!
