I presume you are refering to a tarantula?

If so, I found caresheets on my first search.

Look up care info BEFORE getting a new animal. Waiting for a few days before giving the animal proper care isn't fair.

There care is similar to A.anax, You should keep them like any desert tarantula dry but with acess to water all the time and a hid for shelter. when their young you can feed them twoce a week and as they mature only once a week.

I have 2 of these and they are pretty easy to care for. I provide mine with a hide (she rarely hides though) Room temp has suited them well as well as around 60-70% humidity. I have mine on a peat/soil/bark mixture with a water dish.

They never seem to stop eating. I have had success with both pinkies and crickets so far.

I wouldn't call this a handling species, as both of them have made repeated threats and have stuck at me several times (the female settled down after a couple of months in my care though). They seemed to be more warnign shots than actual bite attempts but there is no doubt in my mind that they would have bitten me had I called their bluffs. Mine is also a wicked hair kicker.

Dont be shy to write if you need any help.
