Hey there, I recently (15mins ago to be exact) acquired a Red Trapdoor Spider in a sort of bundle deal, and naturally I have some questions regarding care and such. I did find some care sheets and things, but I wasn't sure how accurate they were.
First thing: what is the scientific name? I only found Antrodiaetus spp. Wasn't sure if it was the same spider.
Second: I own tarantulas, is the care similar? As in, coco fiber substrate, higher temps and humidity, and a water dish.
Third: How big of an enclosure should I get? Do they like bigger sizes or smaller sizes?
I attached some pictures, does the spider look healthy? Also, how close to maturity if you had to estimate?
Sorry to sound like an absolute idiot, I want to take good care of the little guy. Thanks!
