The first case purchase terrarium. It should be of small size, with a lid. It is best to buy a small “house”, because tarantulas poorly guided in large spaces. It is also not advisable to buy a high terrarium: insects love to climb, drop can result in tragic for your pet. Also, due to the large size of the terrarium, the spider can not find food. The bottom of the “asylum” carpet the peat land (for tarantulas living in burrows). For other sub-species of the insect species, bottom left clean. You can put there a snag. Do not forget about nutrition. The terrarium must exist drinkers, feeders (flat plate for food).
Despite the rather strange name, tarantulas eat insects. It is better to use a large cockroaches. Display the even special breed of insects that will feed. Cockroaches are usually large, thick. Also suit different larvae, large worms and crickets. It is advisable to buy in the store a special feed for tarantulas.

Recommended pairing of a couple in a separate, large cage, the bottom of which is paved with the ground, must be present driftwood and other shelters. Before breeding examine the nature of each of the spiders. It is desirable to sit down for a quiet aggressive tarantula. Not the other way around. Otherwise, it may be an attack on each other. If you see. What sympathy between the pair did not have, divide them, try another partner. It is important to avoid conflicts between spiders. Keep an eye on their behavior.
After mating, the spiders will start knocking tabs along the bottom. If the female is excited immediately transplant male in another cage.
