My wife bought me a Mexican redleg tarantula for my birthday from PetSmart back in April. I followed their care sheet and it died. I had it in a glass container with a heating pad on one side. I think the heating pad killed it after it molted because it looked pretty dehydrated.
I got another one and I put it in a critter keeper and I'm trying to go by the information I've found on this forum.
I'm keeping my tarantula at room temperature. I'm not misting the enclosure but I'm overfilling the water dish every other day. (I quit misting because it makes her climb the walls.)
My tarantula appears to be happy and healthy. Her abdomen is plump and she comes out of her hide at night.
I'm a little nervous because I think she is fixing to molt and I'm wondering if my enclosure is too dry?
I used the search function and google and I'm still confused because all the information I've found is contradictory. Also the people at the pet store said I should keep the substrate wet. Any advice is appreciated.
