Greetings,
I have a question about my rose hair. I have had her for over a month now and have noticed a major attitude change.
I got her a petco and after a few days I finally decided to handle her. Seeing that she was the sweetest of spiders I kept her out of her enclosure a good ammount, took her in the bedroom to watch tv etc. She seemed to like the attention but after a week some important things came up and I was not able to pay as much attention to her as orginaly though she was fed, fresh water and the cleaning still took place, just not the handling or touching.
I have now noticed, 2 weeks latter, that her overall attitude has changed.... She now attacks anything that comes near her. She is not agressive enough to run over and snap but if I get too close to her when maintaining her home I have to watch her very closely now because she will attack anything that comes within an inch of her now.
My question is, what could of caused this change in attitude? Was it a form of neglect? Change in the tempature? Maybe some form of tarantula PMS?
I think this is silly but my wifes says its because when I first got the tarantual I showed it alot of affection but then work came up and I couldent baby it as much. I heard this is not posible with tarantulas since they really don't care for affection.
I don't know, maybe an expert here may have an idea.
Thanks
