If you think Snakes are easy, Tarantulas are nothing... You feed them once a week either a few crickets or roach. Most T's you can keep at room temps (unless it's extremely cold where you live) no lighting, plain coconut husk fiber substrate, a hide and water dish. Keep the water clean and depending on the species, you may need to mist. That's it! Again, care depends on the species...I have 6 T's.
