Rehousing

As your Mexican Orange Beauty grows, it will require a larger enclosure to accommodate its size. To rehouse your tarantula safely, follow these steps:

1. Select an appropriately sized enclosure with adequate ventilation.
2. Line the enclosure with substrate, such as coco fiber or peat moss, to a depth of 3-5 inches.
3. Use tongs or a soft paintbrush to gently transfer your tarantula to the new enclosure.
4. Provide a hide, such as a cork bark or reptile cave, for your tarantula to retreat to.

Care

To ensure the well-being of your Mexican Orange Beauty, provide the following care:

• Temperature: Maintain a temperature range of 75-85 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Humidity: Keep the湿度 at 60-70% by misting the enclosure regularly or using a humidifier.
• Water: Provide a shallow water dish that is large enough for your tarantula to fit half of its body in.
• Feeding: Mexican Orange Beauties feed on live crickets, dubia roaches, or mealworms. Feed them every 1-2 weeks.
