I have inherited my sons chile rose tarantula she is approx 18 months old and would like some advice on how to look after her without killing her with kindness. How often should I feed her and with what?
The petshop guy keeps giving me conflicting advice on feeding habits. He gave me a black cricket to see her over until the locusts arrived in store.
I know I have to keep the humidity up and water in her bowl.
I am terrified of spiders so that does not help much, I find I can cope with her as long as she doesnt move too quickly, the biggest problem I have is the live food it gives me the creeps as I cannot touch them and when I try to use pincers to pick them up I find their legs fall off and I am left with a squirming body on my carpet.
I would be grateful for any advice and no I cant rehome her!
