[QUOTE="Calymene, post: 94899, member: 11851"] Hello! I've just acquired my very first tarantula last night: a pink-toe! He's not alone in this little family, for I also have three hissing roaches: two females (named Cookies and Cream) and a male (El Toro). On a bigger scale is my old lady rat named Waffles (a former feeder that I raised practically from birth), and on an even bigger scale than that is my floofy ragdoll cat, Mochi. But I know ya'll are here for my eight-legged friend. He's settling in real nice (he seems so happy being able to stretch his legs for once!), and was no trouble at all transferring him from his old home (a small, flat cup :( ) into his new home: he walked right into my hand without any hassle. I've left him in a dark, quiet room so he can explore his temporary terrarium in peace (I plan to by a proper arboreal terrarium when I get off work today; should I transfer him immediately after it's ready or should I leave him for a couple more days to recover from the stress of the move?). According to the shop owners, he's a very docile and mellow spider. I suspect he'll be a lot more active now that he's got room to scurry about. He's smaller than I expected though, so he's likely still young and growing. I have some amount of spider knowledge (a guilty pleasure of mine is reading care books/sites of animals I don't own), but it's something I feel definitely should be expanded upon! I'm sure this forum will teach me tons! [/QUOTE]
