Putting in this much substrate gives your Tarantula plenty of room to burrow and it helps cushion any falls.

You should also add a shallow bowl of water to the tank to help with humidity If your Tarantula is always in the corner of the tank, it is probably too humid.
A tarantula can eat food up to the size of itself.
Don’t feed your tarantula until at least a week after it has finished molting. During a molt, a tarantula may lay up-side-down on it’s back or on its side to get out of the old skin easier. If your tarantula is on her stomach and has curled her legs tightly inwards, then it may be dead or dying.
If you are nervous or scared of handling your spider, it is likely that either you or your spider will end up hurt If the spider shows any threatening signs, don’t handle it Keep any movements slow and don’t breathe directly on the spider.
If the mating was successful, you should see the female produce an egg sack a week after mating. Normally, the male will die in around a week after mating.
