[QUOTE="Nicolas C, post: 84989, member: 3795"] Well... About the habitat, you can check this excellent website: [url]http://mantid.nl/tarantula/smithi.html[/url] About the temperament, most of the smithi are rather peaceful but tend to love flicking hairs, which can be annoying. Individuals may vary. The growth rate is slow, you can expect a mature female after 6 years when kept with warm temps and good feeding, about 5 years for a male. Dry substrate with a full waterdish is ok when they are around 6cm legspan. When younger, I add a little water in a corner to increase the humidity. But beware: too damp will put your spider in danger. Most of the substrate has to stay dry. They need a good hide too. 65 F is maybe too low for such a sling. Is it possible to put its enclosure in a warmer place in your house? Envoyé de mon iPhone à l'aide de Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
