Hi all
Just wanted to post as I have recently joined the forum and am looking forward to learning as much as I can about my spiders.
My first tarantula was a Chaco golden knee spiderling/juvenile (not sure what the line is between these!) it was growing well and looked healthy and had moulted a few times but unfortunately a few days ago it died
Visited a pet shop to get a new one and ended up coming home with 4!
1 E. Murinus about 3/3.5 inches
1 Brazilian White Knee sling
2x Chaco gold knee slings
One question I have is I think the E. Murinus ideally needs deeper substrate than I was advised when I bought it so I want to get a deeper enclosure for it. But as it's just travelled in a box and been put in a new habitat and is probably going to be a bit stressed until it settles into its new home, is it best to wait a while before I change its house again? At the moment its substrate is about 3 inches deep and it hasn't attempted to burrow anywhere.
The baby ones are doing great the skeleton has been moving around a bit, sat in its water bowl, made a load of webs, but generally looks a bit peeved still!
