The pet store told me this rose hair is a female, but she's never molted in my care, so that's yet to be confirmed. And this is the first time I've been able to get a good shot of her underside. What do you think? Female?
@Ghost56 It's about 6" inches from the substrate to the top of the enclosure. I had just put her back in after replacing the substrate. This is the only time I've ever seen her climb the walls.
@starnaito She most likely climbs at night as do most T's, but 6 inches is perfectly fine. I always ask anytime someone's relatively new to the forum, especially with it being a rose hair. It's pretty common for people to join with a rose hair from a LPS, and things be setup wrong because of what they were told. Anyways, that amount of distance is great.
@Ghost56 Thanks! She is my first T, but I didn't go with the setup the pet store suggested. (They even told me to get a heat lamp!) I bought an enclosure from Jamie's Tarantulas.
Starnaito theres nothing wrong with heat lamps as long as theyre used properly. Its very debatable, but most people just spew random information they read somewhere with little to no proof.
I have used heat lamps when needed for around a decade and have never had any accidents, deaths, or injuries.
