Thank you !

The care is pretty simple. You need a enclosure that has good cross ventilation, you need a water dish for the humidity and if they want to drink, and you are feeding them once a week, or depends on the size of their abdomen

That's so cool! Would I be able to use this for them?

Minus the rocks, I am just curious. I really doubt I'd be able to adopt one until I move out but I am curious

Yes you can use this for a enclosure, but you will need to add a bit more substrate, so the height can be lower. Because if you get a terrestrial tarantula, they can fall from the sides and hurt them self. They are not a good climbers.
Also the size of the enclosure needs to be at least double the size of the Tarantula's legspan in both depth and width dimensions. But the height should never go higher than the size of one legspan

Thanks for the nice words[emoji14]
Handling tarantulas is not recomended, because they and you can get hurt by mistake.. And they are not getting anything from the handle, but just stress.. And its not worth it at all..

I have tried to handle two of them, just to see how it feels, in case I need to pick them up by the hand. But I will not handle them just for fun and showing off

That's kinda what I was thinking.. I once worked in a pet store and the rose haired got out and a customer came to me saying there's a big spider on the floor rearing up and hissing.. I went and looked and it was Rosie and she was pissed, I told our manager who loved them she said well just pick her up I said NO way she is pissed not a chance lol she just calmly let Rosie crawl up and she put her back ... OMG sorry can't do spiders lol
