that's too bad. I'm sorry to hear that.
That's a bummer - sorry to hear he didn't make it. Even if you are limited in what species you are allowed to have in Ontario, maybe you should consider getting one from someone on the boards. You could even get a sling or two to raise. Its so much fun to watch them grow and they might be a little healthier than the wild caughts that are usually sold in pet stores - especially those particular species. i only have an adult G. rosea but i have a few each of Zebra and Pink Toes and they grow like weeds!!I don't know if I can get one of thse is Canada...
I was only told that I can get a Zebra T. A Pink Toe and A Rosie in Ontario...
I'm looking around at the pet stores and Little Rays Reptile House...
The person was wrong, and don't do this. G. rosea HATES a wet environment, absolutely freaks out if they're wet or in a cloud of humidity, and they come from the middle of like the driest desert in the world. As long as they have access to a bottlecap or water dish or whatever, they're fine. In the case of spiderlings drinking from wet dirt, I would not moisten the substrate more than twice a week.The person who sold me the ling told me that I did not have a high enough humidity when goliath went to molt. So I plan on moistening he tank on one side everyday and hopefully that should do the trick
Thanks, Its my first spiderling so I'm a little nervous. I just watched it at today and that was amazing :clap: :clap: ! The person that sold me the ling told me that I should not try handling mine until he is about 6 months old . It is the size of a quarter and is sooo cute.Congrats on your new spider! I have a baby (well, probably a juvie technically) Chilean rose too. He's fast and jumpy. I swear he is part jumping spider. I tried handling him today. I'd push him along onto my hand, but the moment I tried (slowly) to lift him up he'd make a mad dash for the side of my hand and leap off. Crazy nut. I tried a couple of times then thought it might be best to leave him/her be. Don't want to stress him out too much.
