Hello!
Well, I a got a tarantula. I got it as a "pink toe tarantula." I was told that it's a good beginner species. I researched it, and it looks like the guyana pink toe tarantula. AI mist it every day, just to keep everything moist, and in its cage is a small water bowl, and some logs for it to hide. It has a legspan of about 2 inches. Now, to the questions:
I got it on Wednesday. I also watched it poop on Wednesday. I put in a cricket today, and it doesn't seem hungry. Is this normal?
Also, I just noticed that it has only 7 legs! Will it grow them back?
Lastly, will it chew through screens? This has me worried. The petstore lady told me this absolutely won't happen, but I read that they can chew through metal. I then got it a new cage with a stronger top.
I have a lot of experience with fish, and I even own a frog, but I am completely new to tarantulas.
Thanks!
