Tarantula Spider Guide For Beginners: Everything You Need to Know
- Size: Tarantulas range in size from small (about the size of a quarter) to large (over 10 inches in length). Choose a species that is appropriate for the size of your enclosure.
- Temperament: Some tarantulas are more docile than others. If you are new to keeping tarantulas, you should choose a species that is known for being calm and easy to handle.
- Lifespan: Tarantulas can live for many years, so be prepared to make a long-term commitment to your pet. The average lifespan of a tarantula is 10-15 years, but some species can live for up to 30 years.
- Mexican Redknee Tarantula: This is a relatively small and docile species that is easy to care for.
- Chilean Rose Tarantula: This is another good choice for beginners. It is slightly larger than the Mexican Redknee Tarantula, but it is still relatively docile.
- Brazilian Black Tarantula: This is a larger species that is known for its striking black coloration. It is not as docile as the Mexican Redknee Tarantula or the Chilean Rose Tarantula, but it is still a good choice for experienced beginners.
- Size: The enclosure should be at least three times the length of your tarantula's body and twice the width. For example, a tarantula that is 4 inches long would need an enclosure that is at least 12 inches long and 8 inches wide.
- Ventilation: The enclosure should have good ventilation to prevent the air from becoming stale. You can provide ventilation by drilling holes in the lid or by using a screened top.
- Security: The enclosure should have a secure lid to prevent your tarantula from escaping. The lid should also be heavy enough to prevent your tarantula from pushing it open.
- Substrate: The substrate is the material that covers the bottom of the enclosure. It provides your tarantula with a place to burrow and hide. You can use a variety of substrates, such as peat moss, coco fiber, or shredded bark.
- Water dish: Your tarantula needs a water dish to drink from. The water dish should be shallow and wide enough for your tarantula to fit its entire body in.
- Hiding place: Your tarantula needs a place to hide to feel safe and secure. You can provide a hiding place by placing a piece of cork bark or a hollow log in the enclosure.
- Always wash your hands before and after handling your tarantula. This will help to prevent the spread of bacteria.
- Approach your tarantula slowly and calmly. Do not make any sudden movements that could startle your tarantula.
- Support your tarantula's body with one hand while you gently lift it with the other. Do not squeeze your tarantula or put pressure on its abdomen.
