[QUOTE="Kohle, post: 174432, member: 32797"] Hey guys I'm new to the tarantula hobby. And I'll go ahead and say it when I bought it from the pet store the sign said Brachypelma Smithi but it might be a Hamorii I don't really know the difference of them. I've tired looking them up but alot of dead ends and some say there the same thing. So I'm sorry if I got the name wrong I would love to learn and know more about the subject. But anyways I bought the T Feb 15 2020 it molted the 1st night I bought it home, but it hasn't molted since. And it's June 10 2020. I'm starting to worry because I read that they molt alot when there young. Temp is 64-70 degrees and humidity stays between 60-70. It only eats about a meal worm or cricket about 2 to 3 weeks I try to feed it every week. But i leave it in for a day if it doesnt eat it i take it out.
