My son has always had a love for reptiles, ALL reptiles.. this past year he has been talking about wanting a tarantula and now that he’s 10 going on 11 we decided we would get him one as a Christmas gift.. so over the last few months/weeks I’ve been spending all my nights after he goes to bed watching all kinds of videos on YouTube and reading whatever I can and gathering all of the things he needs including finding the tarantula he loves, which I got a week ago tomorrow.
Last week I got his tarantula and once I put him in his terrarium he eventually dug a hole under his long and has been in there ever since.. I clean and refill his water dish every single night, the room he is in has good humidity, is mostly dark, and is warm, but it doesn’t look like he’s come out at all..
I guess what I’m looking for is reassurance that what I’m doing is right and that this can be normal behavior.. I am terrified that I am going to mess this up… I’m also not sure when or if I should attempt to feed him..
Any advice would be so helpful and greatly appreciated!
