Hello there,
I'm new and I had a couple questions to start off about my tank before I put a tarantula in it.
I've done research and I know tarantula's are very sensitive so when I got a tank from my friend I wanted to make sure it was cleaned before putting a T in it so I used a very miniscule amount of dish soap, I put a drop in a bucket and even wiped some away then filled it will steaming hot water and used that to wipe the tank. Then after wiping I filled another bucket with just steaming water and wiped the tank again then dried it.
Do you think this was a good method to clean the tank? Would it be safe to put a T in it now?
Also, It's a 10 gallon tank and I'm planning on getting a G. rosea or other terrestrial. Is this too large of a tank I read they like to feel their surroundings so I wasn't sure. I have a driftwood log, a shallow water dish, and a small flower pot to put in there with it.
Eventually I would like to get a tank divider so I can keep two in the 10 gallon but we'll start with the one.
