Sorry if this is a re-post, but I couldent find the search button :wall:, shows you how computer savvy I am. But, anyways, I just went to a pet store to look at fish, and ran into the Reptile Area. Here, I found some T's that looked like good pets, and for $25 for a cage and a T, I was interested. I'm not really sure what type of species it was, and I don't have a really good description of it. I was just wondering what a good first-timer T would be, and how much they normally cost.
I've also read that female's live much longer than males. The second part of that question is how long does the average T live? I presume a couple of years, but am not compltely sure.
I was also wondering if the "cage", really a small plastic container, it comes in would be a good place for it to live. I seems to be content in there, but I'm not sure how long they have been there...
I also have a dog, a Jack Russel, and she dosen't seem like she would knock down the cage, and if I put it above my bed, on the headboard, I don't think she could reach it. But, then is putting a poisinous spider above your head a good idea? :?
Thanks for all the help guys, and sorry again if it's a re-post.
Edit: I also think that crickets would be the right meal for the spider. But, I don't think any local pet store around me has any. Could I buy them off of the net or would I have to feed it different food?
Also, I persume that these spiders make their own web. What should I do when they do? They don't seem to have a web in their containers now, at the pet store.
Also, hehe, what's a substrate? I've seen it in many posts, and am curious as to what it is.
