Hello
I have many questions and would appreciate any answers and or comments back.
My son had received a spider for xmas (teach me to send dad out shopping...lol) He was told it was a rosie and got a plastic terrerium with sand and a plant. Was told that was all it needed. The store presumed it was 6 yrs of age and female. Me of course looked up in the book they had also gotten and on the internet for info on a rosie..no such spider..technically..so i am presuming we have a Chilean Rose. I have added a pic if someone may be able to tell me for sure..anyways....I have since moved the spider to a 5 gallon glass tank and have added subsrate and a piece of bark..more for decoration..but in case the spider wanted a hidey hole..its been 2 weeks since in new surroundings..first week the spider spent most of the time outside the bark..laying close to it..then one morning the work started..it has since webbed itself inside the hidey hole and hasnt been out since..reasons????? i have none...if anyone has any ideas plz respond..i have added a pic for this too..we are more concerned whether this could be more harmful for the spider..also..may be dumb question..do tarantulas hold sperm for later insemination??? if so should i be concerned here that we may in the future be sporting some babies????
as i said before any comments or answers would be greatly appreciated to this mom
thanks SwEEtS :?
