[QUOTE="octanejunkie, post: 194008, member: 3872"] Hello and welcome! Tlitocatl vagans, the Mexican red rump, is a hardy and easy to care for T, tolerant of a wide range of conditions and husbandry errors. Best kept on dry or very slightly damp substrate, you can overflow the water dish every week or two, dampening the area around the dish, or a corner of the enclosure, then allow the substrate to dry before soaking again. Keep the water dish clean and full at all times, or as much as you can. Don't be super concerned about humidity, and as far as temperature, if you are comfortable in a t-shirt, your T vagans will be comfortable too! Regarding feeding, feed when your T is hungry, and it's better to underfeed than overfeed. As slings and juveniles, T vagans do tend to burrow and can be shy. Don't worry, as adults they will be a bit more of a display animal, however some may remain skittish. You keep using they and their but I am assuming you are speaking in gender-neutral terms. But let me ask just to be certain, is there more than one tarantula in the enclosure? [/QUOTE]
