We’ll depending on the size most adult ones can go in a reptile tank. Some burrow and some are climbers. So you’d have to have dee substrate about 8 inches for those, and for climbers you want only a couple of inches of dirt with some stuff to climb and hide behind. Really the most important part is having a place for them to hide, a hiding t is a happy t. They really spend most of there life in one spot and only move if they aren’t find enough food, so I’m the case of a captive tarantula they don’t really want to go anywhere cause there is plenty of food. I have like 10 of different kinds and in different stages of life. The one in the pic is my Mexican fire leg, the one I’ve had the longest. She’s great and always ready to eat, when I got her she was a juvi and it was so cool watching her molt and become her true self.

So like being in a terrarium doesn't make them depressed or anything?

They don’t really have complex thought like you and I anon, but I’d imagine they’d be thankful they don’t have to endure the tough life of a wild tarantula, cause it’s fuckin rough out there.

Neither do you, apparently...

Loom anon, I get that it’s fun to assign human emotion to animals like this because we want to bond with something we spend time and interact with, but it’s just not the case. I wondered the same things when I started keeping them, but if you get too caught up thinking your spider cares about you and recognizes you as anything but a source of movement and noise is gonna get you hurt when you get lost in the delusion and try something stupid like try to pet it or something, you’re probably gonna get bit and that shit is gonna hurt especially if it’s an old world tarantula.

It's like we're having two different conversations right now.
