Awesome thank you for your helpIt has to be bone dry all through

Yes. Read the link, and apply the advice in it to your G.roseaThank you that's good that it will live longer had me worried then. I will send pictures in a couple of hours Do you have any advice for a first timer?
Thank you I came home today and she has moved What do you feed yours because I've been told 100 different things?I would be more concerned if she were moving around excessively. My rosie sits in the same spot for days on end. Sometimes she spins around in a circle. They truly are thrilling Ts to own
Here are the photos of my viv and my TPic of the specimen/ enclosure? If its housed according to its requirements, got fresh water available and not in a death curl or dehydrated I wouldn't sweat it as G. rosea's/ porteri's are considered pet rocks.. T's can be still for weeks and barely move.
Lol, i did not say that or posted this i think there went something wrong with quoting
I've been feeding her crickets her whole life. When she's done fasting this time around, I will be trying dubia roaches to see what she thinks of them.Thank you I came home today and she has moved What do you feed yours because I've been told 100 different things?
Beautiful enclosure...but not for a terrestrial i'm afraid.
Is it an ExoTerra?
Some adjustments that need to be made asap. Raise the substrate level to the point where there is no more than 2 times the Diagonal Legspan between the top of the substrate and the enclosure top, to prevent climbing and falling of the spider. A fall from this height, with that skull there could be lethal. I'm not kidding.
Substrate should be dry for this species.
Please read the link i sent you in this thread earlier, and apply to your enclosure.
Ok, i will start at the beginning....the only sub you have to add water to is bricks....everything else is just used as its bought....jungle mix, eco earth, peat moss and top soil are all fine choices.
As for feeding, it will eat anything it can over power...my guess is that all 100 things you were told are probably suitable...just as long as they arent wild caught. Crickets are the industry standard feeder. Keep in mind though, rosies can be picky and show preferences for certain things...crickets work best for mine.
Now onto the enclosure...time to start over. Exo terras are suitable for arboreals...to be used with a terrestrial the cage needs to be modified...i personally just wouldnt use it....those front doors prevent you from adding enough sub to make it a safe home.
It did sorry,Lol, i did not say that or posted this i think there went something wrong with quoting
Thank you now for a stupid question but what do you keep yours in as I've realised I'm messed my enclosure upI've been feeding her crickets her whole life. When she's done fasting this time around, I will be trying dubia roaches to see what she thinks of them.
She hates superworms and wants nothing to do with them.
I keep mine in a 10 gallon glass tank. This is not the ideal setup for them as it's a bit too big, but she's been in it her entire life and her hide is huge so moving her to anything smaller would be detrimental to her well-being in my opinion. I'd recommend a smaller enclosure, with tons of substrate. My girl is a big climber.Thank you now for a stupid question but what do you keep yours in as I've realised I'm messed my enclosure up
Awesome that's fantastic thank you would any of these be ok for her?Anything with a top that opens will work. This will allow you to fill it wil sub properly. I use sterilite, but it doesnt have the visibility you want. A 5 gal tank with a drilled plexi or acrylic top would be fine...just limit the ground clutter as its just hiding places for feeders.
Mine is beautiful and I just want to see her but I realise that the enclosure isn't good but do you think these would do?I keep mine in a 10 gallon glass tank.

Sorry for late reply, my daughter had a different opinion on how to fill my evening than i did..Awesome that's fantastic thank you would any of these be ok for her?
Just so I know before buying?
