[QUOTE="darkchloe, post: 86720, member: 8658"] Hi, today I purchased a mexican red knee tarantula, he/she is 18months old, and they are housed in a small storage box with ventilation holes. They have a small water bowl, substrate of a 50/50 mix of top soil and coco fibre, a half plant pot hide, and two small decor pieces. She/he feeds on small locusts, only one and once a week. I have set up exo-terra thermometers and hygrometers, her/his humidity is 68% and her/his temperature is 22 degrees Celsius. She is misted every few days. Can you guys give me some advice to make sure I am providing everything she needs and that everything I am doing is correct? I feel like shes a little small for her age and that her enclosure is too small. Thinking of upgrading to a medium sized flat faunarium (exo-terra), the dimensions of the enclosure I was thinking of is 14” (length) x 8” (width) x 6” (height). [/QUOTE]
