I BOUGHT MY FIRST TARANTULA!!!

[@GoForACashew]

welcome to the tarantula keeper community! that's a lovely setup for a c. versi. my sling was smaller than yours about a year ago when i got them and they're still going strong. lots of ventilation is key for this species. i wish you many more happy days with this little one!

[@MexicanPharaoh]

Thank you and thanks for the advice! I hope so too! I can’t wait to see this one grow :)

Welcome to the world of keeping spiders lol owning 1 soon becomes many. Nice little setup, and the spider is a nice size too, The versicolor are stunning Tarantulas,

[@MexicanPharaoh]

Appreciate it! And yeah about that…😅 I will say this, currently making an update video, you’ll be surprised 😂

The colors of the tarantula are stunning

[@MexicanPharaoh]

I know, so beautiful

I do have a C. Versicolor and avoid putting too much water in her enclosure, when she gets bigger I will give her a water dish, but as a sling their are good with a sprits.

[@chloetoms3734]

Is this a C. Versicolor? If so do not put too much water inside the inclosure!!! I've read that a little spray every few days is good, I have sadly found out a lot of people have killed theirs in the past with too much humidity 😢. Set up looks really good!!!

[@MexicanPharaoh]

Will do, thanks for the information. I’ve been doing just that! Got this sling about 3 weeks ago. It is looking healthy. Don’t know what sex it is just yet tho…hopefully a female!

Gotta love the southwest

[@MexicanPharaoh]

😂😂

[@neolbioldey]

Gotta love tarantulas. I fed one once

[@MexicanPharaoh]

Yeah, they are pretty unique creatures

[@MeMyselfAndIAndWe]

Nicee! i have 3 slings Looking to buy a mature at an expo

[@MexicanPharaoh]

Wow, I don’t think I’m ready for that many just yet. But good luck!

[@lousk650]

The only thing I'd recommend is not using coco fiber. Is it fine to use? Yeah, but in my experience, it doesn't hold moisture and structure as well as literally anything else. I'd recommend Zilla Jungle Mix, its way better. And I know you've probably heard this enough, but don't over water it. Spraying her (hopefully) enclosure down once a week should be fine. Way better than my first T's enclosure though, keep at it

[@aidarousmoutasim7895]

He did use moss so he will probably be fine with moisture

[@MexicanPharaoh]

Yeah, I got some the other day. I don’t want to spoil too much, but stay tuned for the next update video! It should be good :)

[@brandonrobinson3861]

Eventually you’ll want to get a front-opening enclosure. C. Versacolors loooooove webbing up the entire ceiling of their enclosure and you’ll have to rip out all their hard work every time you open the enclosure.

[@MexicanPharaoh]

Yeah, I already had to destroy its web :/ After that, I immediately bought a front-opening enclosure. I plan on releasing an update video next week.

[@MyPetArthropods]

Enjoy your first tarantula! Just a warning though: it's a very addictive hobby! 😅

[@MexicanPharaoh]

Thank you! And I’ll just say this, stay tuned for next week… 😂
