Hello, I am new here and I have a few questions about my new tarantula. Acquiring her was strange, seeing as I adopted her from a reptile show the last weekend of October and no one at the show could properly ID her. She has been sexed as female but the fact that I do not know an exact species has made it a little difficult in giving her the optimum care I think I can give her (ex: specific humidity, etc.) so if anyone could help me ID her or give me suggestions on what to do, that would be great.
Another thing. I left her with my roommate over this past break (she has a decent amount of exposure to tarantula care and I gave her an emergency number in town if she needed it) but when I called today she had told me that my tarantula had not been eating. She is relatively small in size and this time I had gotten her crickets that were a bit larger since she had been eating the smaller ones like crazy (one almost every day). It's been two weeks since she's eaten but she hasn't been showing many signs to indicate that she's ready to molt. The photo attached shows how she was when I got her. She had already been very stressed out previous to me purchasing her. I was wondering if anyone thought I should change back to smaller crickets, or if it might just be a combination of stress and/or getting ready to molt?
