[QUOTE="Konstantin, post: 175243, member: 30996"] Hi and welcome to the forum. :T: #The enclosure size is very dependent on the size of your tarantula.Good rule of thumb is 3 times your T DLS(Diagonal leg span) as lenght,2 times DLS width and 1.5 DSL height from substrateto top of enclosure(So for a 2 inch spider is 6Lx4Wx4H with 1 inch of substrate ) Small slings can be housed in deli cups wich come in all different sizes. Brachypelma Emilia is very slow growing species. It will take years till it is an adult( around 5inch in DSL) #Tarantula is considered adult when it reaches close to their maximum size. #Strictly no water balls,cristals etc .Only water in a dish. Tarantulas cant drown.They have water repellent exoskeleton and small slings can walk on water.For slings you can use bottle cups for the larger ones and tattoo ink pots for smaller ones.You dont need to treat it in any way.If water is good for you is good for them.Some people like to boil it and cool it down,buy spring water bottles or use it from the tap.Its personal preference. They dont drink much often.If it is only a week you leave your Tarantula just add extra waterbowl in case they soil the first one as a back up. #It is again size of the sling dependent how often you feed and size of pray too.Smaller slings twice a week if is a small meal or one larger one a week. #Tarantulas dont need variety. You can feed one feeder no problem.Meal worms or parts of them are good for slings and juvenile tarantulas.They keep very long in frigde Morio worms are good for larger juveniles and adults.In very rare occasions some Tarantulas refuse to eat those tho.Those can't be kept in fridge but live quite long. With the worms above you need to crush their heads or they will burrow or may harm your tarantula. Also never feed wild caught pray.Always buy them from a reputable vendor. #You don't need to add any supplements to the feeders just feed them like they are. #Also No heat mats ,heat bulbs ..... Tarantulas will do well at room temperatures 17°C to 28°C Hope that helps Regards Konstantin [/QUOTE]
