Last Wednesday Esme picked up the terrarium I had ordered for my two tarantulas. One of them escaped months ago, but suddenly showed up 2 weeks ago, which was quite a happy surprise.
Read the rest of Tarantula terrarium.
Hi Sean - depends probably also on the species. Twenty inch is quite high for a terrestrial type. My tarantulas climb on the glass now and then, and if they can climb high and fall, they might rupture their abdomen and die.
I am going to change both tarantulas I keep in the terrarium I described to one that is less heigh (about 8 inch) for exactly that reason.
hey i just bought a tigerrump and was wondered if there was a way to determine sex for estimated length of life
Hi Jay - if the species I encounter here in the wild is Cyclosternum fasciatum, the adult males have tibial spurs, see: Tarantulas near Trapiche del Rosario.
If it's a juvenile tarantula, sexing might be harder, see Brachypelma vagans creating a sperm web for several links on how to sex a tarantula.
