Hello Everyone!!!
I am a brand new T hobbyist and proud owner of two species of tarantula. Yesterday I picked up both a Grammostola rosea, and a Avicularia Avicularia!
Both of which were bought from a non-big-chain-petshop, that buys their T's from a breeder. Both are very young, the rosea is about 4-4.5 inches in leg span, and the Avic is about 3-3.5 inches leg span. Both very docile and friendly . I'm housing them both in their own seperate enclosures, using sterilite containers, with drilled holes for ventilation. For substrate, I am using Reptisoil by Zoo Med. I've purchased small-medium crickets as they are fairly young and are no where near being mature.
The rosea has a half-log hide, and a deli-cup(rocks in the deli cup) in its enclosure. The height of the enclosure is 7 inches, at its lowest point, the substrate is about 3 inches high from the top of the enclosure.
The avic I have a vertical 11" inches in height and 8" in length and width, has a delicup(also with rocks),some faux leaves hanging down, and log in the middle.
I haven't attempted to feed them yet. I will give them a week before I try and offer them food. The pet shop keeper fed them on Saturday and he said they took the food.
The Rosea has been in its hide for the past 24 hours, which i think is normal? Not sure.
The Avic has been climbing up and down its enclosure.
Still no webbing from either!
I was wondering if these living conditions will be ok. Me being a beginner I have no confidence in what I've produced for these specimens lol. So if you have any advice what so ever, please feel free to leave me a comment!!! Thank you!!
Attached are some photos of the enclosures, and a photo of my Rosea since it's currently in it's hide
