要点总结
Tarantula enclosure setup: arboreal vs terrestrial configurations, substrate depth, humidity control, ventilation, and feeding guidelines.
Tarantulas are large, beautiful spiders gaining popularity as quiet, space-efficient pets. Arboreal and terrestrial species require fundamentally different enclosure designs.
Chilean Rose, Mexican Red Knee, Brazilian Black. Wide horizontal enclosures, 5-10cm substrate depth for burrowing species, half-cork bark hides, shallow water dish.
Pink Toe, Gooty Sapphire. Tall vertical enclosures, cork bark and driftwood for climbing, web-building space at top, mesh ventilation on top and sides, 3-5cm substrate.
22-28C for most species. Dry species (Chilean Rose) 50-60%, humid species (Asian) 70-80%. Mist humid species 2-3 times weekly.
Crickets or dubia roaches every 1-2 weeks, prey size 1/3-1/2 of body. Pre-molt fasting is normal. Never place food during molting.
