hi, im new! i have 5 fish tanks, and thought whats 1 more? only with a tarantula! i would like advice on what tanks/cages and what kind are good beginners.
first, when the T is big enough to live in a tank will a 10 gallon be okay? i also have this tank. http://pet.imageg.net/graphics/product_images/pPETS-3761288t400.jpg it might be good for a terrestrial/ burrowing kind.
so which will be a good permanent adult cage as i will probably get spiderlings. i have also been thinking about those cubes people have been using. i would like to start with 2.
next, what type of tarantula? i want 2 that will not be aggressive and will tolerate being held.
the types i am interested in are B. smithi and B. albopilosum. what are some others you suggest?
who is good to buy from? i was thinking swift inverts. plus i would get a freebie. except i did not see B. smithi on the list.
now if i get a spiderling 1/4-1/2 inch how often and what do i feed? what type of container is good to start with? i read a deli container is good, but may be to big right now.
anyway, any info would be great. Thank-you
ps, how much would a b. smithi spiderling cost average?
