[QUOTE="PanzoN88, post: 195080, member: 4548"] Ok, I’m going to try to answer them all, though I will ask for clarification on one in particular. 1. don’t worry about humidity, it is irrelevant to tarantula keeping, not to mention unnecessary stress. The temperatures will be fine. 2. How much a tarantula burrows does not determine a tarantulas sex, most tarantulas will burrow at some point even some arboreals. Mature males will wander around their enclosures as their sole purpose after maturing is breeding and passing on. They are actually impossible to sex as slings unless you use a really good microscope. Once most tarantulas hit 2” you will be able to sex them via molt. Unless stated otherwise, breeders will not guarantee a tarantula is a male or female unless they confirmed it themselves via molt, on occasion a breeder may list a specimen as a suspect male/female. 3. I don’t understand what sound you are referring to. Some tarantulas will gnaw on things in their enclosures and sometimes the enclosure itself. 4. if it’s burrowed, leave it be. Tarantulas do not like to be handled, as there is no benefit for them, they are not like snakes or hamsters that grow accustomed to handling, they are more for admiring from afar. 5. At that size (you have a juvenile, not a sling anymore, assuming it is 5 cm) one mealworm once a week will suffice. 6. not sure what the two words that begin with “S” and “A” are, so I can’t answer that one with confidence. It could be your camera, but the substrate looks kind of wet. Assuming you were trying to say B. emilia, they prefer dry substrate with a full water dish. watching tarantulas molt never gets old. might I ask what that substrate is? lastly, welcome to the forum and the hobby.
