Beginner here with a couple questions about a Rose Hair...

[Trixie25]

Ok, so I recently got into T's and I just bought a Rose Hair. The store said she/he is about 6 months old. My questions are as follows:
Should I mist her moss in the tank, cause I know they like everything dry so I was just curious if that would make her uncomfortable or not. Also the tank I have is a 5 gallon, that should be good right?!
Oh and one other thing....I bought 5 crickets and she ate every one. Two one day then three the next. Am I over feeding her? Should I only put one or two in every other day? Any suggestions/help is appreciated. Thanks!

Whoah. First off, lose the itty bitty hard to read font, lol.

Second, forget everything the pet store told you.

How big is the G. rosea? Unless it's less than an inch, there's no way it's only six months old.

It is LIKELY wild caught and a couple years old, if not older.

You really only need to feed it once every week, though some folks feed bi-weekly, and even monthly. Your tarantula is not going to starve to death.

All you really need, if the spider is 3"+ is a water dish. G. rosea like it dry, and misting doesn't really do anything.

You shouldn't need to mist. 5 gallons is acceptable. I personally look at the size of their abdomen and feed if it looks smaller than I think normal looks like.

She's pretty big. I have a picture of her on my page. I thought that was kind of weird for her to be only "6 months" for her size. My guess is she's about 5 inches w/ leg span.
I wanted to make sure i wasn't giving her too much to eat even though she seems to enjoy it LOL I'll do the weekly feeding and see how that goes. Awesome! Thank you both!!

5 gallon tank should be fine, don't need to feed it 5 crickets at the same time. I feed mine 1-2 crickets/super worms/dubia roaches every week, if it looks like the abdomens are getting to big I skip a week just to make sure there are no molting problems. For the Rose hair, don't mist, just keep a water dish in the cage and that will be fine on humidity. Just make sure that you have enough substrate in the tank so that if it falls, it doesn't hurt it self.
