Rose Hair Tarantulas

Caring for a spider as a pet certainly won't appeal to everybody, but many types of arachnid will be remarkably great pets. The most popular species is the Rose Hair Tarantula, sometimes called the Chilean Rose instead. The reasons are mostly because they are so aesthetically pleasing, laidback and less tricky to own than the majority of more common pets on offer. Looking after them is surprisingly simple compared to cats or dogs, for example.

If you've never had an unusual creature before, a Rose Hair is definitely an excellent species. That is not only because of the virtues described above, but also because of the large amount of information about Chilean Roses online and elsewhere. These arachnids are ideal because they remain pretty uncommon,
Handling these demands is straightforward - a standard heat mat will take care of the temperature simply and effectively, while causing their water bowl to spill twice per week will normally deliver enough humidity.

These tarantulas need not use up loads of space - they can easily fit into the vast majority of houses. A straightforward 10 gallon tank should definitely be large enough, and Rose Hairs are often put in smaller enclosures as well. Some Chilean Roses will use burrows in nature, so a small shelter must be provided if you want to ensure your pets happiness.

A normal foodstuff for a pet Chilean Rose would be gut-loaded crickets. An adult Rose Hair will need two or three in a week. Rose Hair Tarantulas don't have regular feeding schedules, and could be fed just once a fortnight and then let be, as they will happily eat everything when food is available in case of a shortfall sometime soon.

The decision to purchase a Chilean Rose Tarantula shouldn't be taken lightly, as many will live for two decades or even more, but at least they are easy to keep well and are very unlikely to give you any difficulties. They are also an excellent additional feature in any house, and should be the perfect spider for a first exotic
