Re: Tarantulas and Spiders
Hey guys,
Substrate and water questions:
1. What are recommended substrates for a rosehair T?
2. After some reading, I've seen a sponge or paper towel is not necessary for drinking. I understand bacteria growth issues and giving crickets a way out if they fall in, but why has that stance changed for Ts drinking water w/o a sponge or other apparatus in the water?
Note: I am not getting a T, I have an obligation to make sure the Nature Center is caring for their Rose Hair properly.

Coconut fiber.
Anything over 2" keep it dry.
Never use a sponge in any dish. If you are worried about crickets getting back out, use a rock.
The best info you'll ever find.

I'm not getting a T, eventually I'll overcome my fear of them and actually hold one. Otherwise, I don't "do" spiders and Ts.

Pick that Chilean up! It's moderately harmless! Mine hadn't flicked hairs, bit, or otherwise hurt me in any fashion.

My arachnid fear and lack of interest are stronger than his bad influences. I think the only insects I'd get are scorpions or preying mantises

Well, hate to tell ya, but I've never been a bug/spider fan. But we have two T's now, and they are cool as heck.
