As those of you who read my last thread know, I now have a a Rosea and a Pinktoe. My apologize for skipping out on the latin names, but the english ones I can easily remember if something arises I can look up the latin names.
I must admit that I was curious if my well forgive the terminlogy aggressive Rosea prompted me to invest in a second Rosea, which is much less aggressive. What I mean by that is the second Rosea that I'm calling Roe mainly tries brushing its butt at what he or she percieves as a threat as well as assuming a threat posture. I'd consider that pretty mellow while the original Rosea that I'm calling Rogue or Ro for short would rather try biting. Thought Rogue was a fitting name. PT by far is the only Tarantula that I own that I'm more comfortable handling if the need arises. I have brushed up against her legs before trying to remodel his or her items for the webbing. I must admit that I am impressed. I was ready to kick myself for the error, but I guess that I wasn't assumed a threat to flee or attack. He or she simply moved the leg and shifted his or her weight in the other direction.
All three Tarantula's are on Peat Moss. Ro and Roe also only have a hide added. To help make it feel more secure, I placed the hides against the far wall of the tanks, so I can locate them and their security. PT has fake flowers for his or her webbing, and he or she seems to be settling in nicely. I thought that I went a little overboard, and I noticed webbing on one of the items, so I decided to leave it alone save I had to remove a piece because a cricket decided to use a leaf against the long wall of the tank. (Not meant for a cricket hide...) So, my question is with all three seeming to be doing nicely am I on the right track as I think that I am? I'd appreciate the input
