Hello everyone,
Back in December 2019 I purchased my first Tarantula, a T. Albo. I absolutely love her as a pet and find great fascination in Tarantulas. I had told myself that I did not want to acquire any Arboreal species this early into having T's as pets. However, while walking through my local PetSmart I noticed an Avic (pink toe) for sale. The T is probably about 2 - 2.5" dls.. but what angered me is that the poor little guy/girl it is in a super small critter keeper enclosure no more than 4" long and 3" high with a soaking wet sponge and a little stem with a few leafs on it. The poor thing looks like it doesn't even have enough room to turn around. I will be rescuing the T if it makes it through the week at the store as I need to purchase items necessary for keeping this species. That being said, what are some tips for keeping the species? I know they are tree dwellers but I just want some tips on what to put in the enclosure.
Thank you all!
