Re: Considering Adopting a Red Knee Tarantula
Just to be clear on the type of enclosure I would expect from this outlay it is similar to this;
A full depth tank with a substrate - burrow in either breeze block or similar, cored out for a burrow down to a moist sustrate, supported safely so they can't dig under it, and a sufficient surface are on top for them to choose. Hard to build but the best you can probably make for her.
There was a picture of this setup I remember from my yoof but it seems to have disappeard along with my hopes and dreams.
Derek
7 adult Royals (2.5), 1.0 COS Pastel, 1.0 Enchi, 1.1 Lesser platty Royal python, 1.1 Black pastel Royal python, 0.1 Blue eyed leucistic ( Super lesser), 0.1 Piebald Royal python, 1.0 Sinaloan milk snake 1.0 crested gecko and 1 bad case of ETS. no wife, no surprise.

She has been kind lethargic lately. I'm a bit worried because I'm not sure if this is normal? The guy I adopted her from had 10 crickets in her cage and they would constantly irritate her. Now that she's eaten all the crickets, she seems much more relaxed. Or is it possible she's responding to my temperament? I'm completely calm when I handle her now, and I hold her every day.

If she ate a lot, she might be lethargic because she's going into a shed? (just guessing though) I rarely held the one I kept as I worried that something could
spook her & they can die if they fall wrong.
Crickets are irritating! I wouldn't put 10 in all at once, & you probably won't either...maybe she's just "relaxed" because the crickets are out of her way now?

That's probably what's going on.
