the pet store had been watering there t's for the whole week at once and her substrate is still damp should I go get a bag of coco fiber for her this is my first T and I don't want her getting hurt.
she is a good 1.5-2 inches if she stretches
I'll go get one asap.
Many tarantulas are described as skittish and defensive, the trick is to make the spider as comfortable as possible; though you will of course get some outstanding individuals in the defensive department. Though good on you for not getting on above your skill level, hopefully someone will pick it up, I have wanted one for a while but I don't have much room for many more Ts.
one of the many things this message board has taught me is start small and work your way up
In a nutshell...yes.
If she's anything like mine the entire substrate will be covered with a thin lining of web as well as most of the walls. Mine webbed so much the substrate looks silver rather than brown. Once that was done she began looking for hides. The one I provided seemed okay for a couple of days until she decided another was required. At that point she burrowed out a good third of the substrate under the water dish and made a small tunnel under there.
Wait a few days. You know it received nourishment, that's what count's, not that its stuffed with every meal. Also, the more you feed at once, the less frequently you need to feed, and the more you increase the likelihood of it deciding to fast. They're more entertaining, to me at least, when they are at least a little hungry.
No, it doesn't. These prefer dry setups with a moist spot somewhere in the enclosure. Not to mention that for a T that size that isn't a burrower, that cup is wrong. It would be suitable for a juvie arboreal, but not a terrestrial. Put her in something with more floorspace, give her dry sub and moist one corner (for example overflow waterdish). Then let her settle in for a week.
She is in a new enclosure now of dry coco fiber
