Pet Tarantula

From time to time, a tarantula sheds its entire skin, right down to the eyeballs. This is called a "molt." When this happens, the molted skin which is more like a shell can look very much like a dead tarantula - on its back, legs in the air. Meanwhile, the newly molted tarantula is very vulnerable and often hides for several days. It's a good idea to leave it alone until it "hardens" up and regains its appetite and its temper. http://www.tarantulaguide.com/tarantula-molting/

Chilean Rose Tarantula

Try to avoid picking up your pet when she is a baby tarantula, but let her get to know you by viewing her every day. When she is not so small and delicate, reach into the vivarium and slowly cradle her. Moving them ever so slowly, bring your hands together until she steps back and forth and is eventually standing on your upturned palms. This may take a few tries, but it is amazing holding her at eye level for the first time, mutually gazing at one another.

If your Chilean Rose Tarantula appears to be kicking at its abdomen, it is trying to kick hairs. This is a defense mechanism. These urticating hairs are very itchy, so if you see the kicking behavior, let her alone and try handling another time.http://arachnophiliac.info/burrow/urticating.htm However, don't wait too long or she will think she is able to drive you away every time. Wearing a pair of very lightweight plastic gloves may help temporarily, but return to spider-on-skin handling as soon as you can.

How to Care for Tarantulas

Place the crickets in the vivarium one or two at a time. If your Tarantula is not hungry, she will find them a bother. Take uneaten crickets out after a day or two and put them back in their container, and remove them quickly if they die. This happens. Don't worry.

If you buy several crickets, they will need a little habitat of their own until your Tarantula is ready to eat. If you keep a small raw carrot or a slice of orange in the vivarium, the cricket will have food and moisture while it is waiting to become dinner. The cricket is now gut loaded. When you gut load a cricket, it transfers the nutrients over to the Tarantula when it's eaten. Many Tarantula owners calcium dust the cricket with calcium powder before offering it to the Tarantula. Place a small amount of calcium powder in a small zip-lock bag with one cricket. Shake. Place the dusted cricket in the Tarantula's vivarium. If she eats it, repeat.
