[QUOTE="TheVez2, post: 125620, member: 27636"] Wow, a lot to cover here. I'll do my best. How full is your tank? Did you expand the bricks fully? I'd think one brick would be enough for a ten gallon aquarium. You don't need side vents if you have a ventilated lid. I like the ones from Walmart for $8. They are plastic and lock under the lip of the aquarium. there is a screen strip, and they have attachment ports for hamster tubes, which make nice feeding ports. No need, see above. You can try pet stores near you, they may be able to order something if they don't stock it. Otherwise check the for sale section of this forum, or search the multitude of online dealers. Yes, but there is no need to provide heat specifically for the tank. I would not have a heater blowing directly at it. They are easy to keep, but they are skittish, so rehousing can be tricky. If you start with a small spiderling, and keep it in a smaller container, you will learn with it as it grows. And watching them grow through molts is very rewarding. I'd really suggest you spend a lot of time reading the forum and getting a good book about tarantulas, like "The Tarantula Keeper's Guide" by Stan Schultz, before you buy your first T. It will teach you all the basics you need and answer just about any question you could have. [/QUOTE]
