What habitat does a tarantula require?

In: Spiders
[Edit]

My sister had one of those. She kept hers in a fish aquarium. She laid down some type of small pebbles on the bottom that she bought at a pet store, they are designed for trantula's. She also had a water bowl and a sponge with water on it. For best results, ask someone who works in a pet store.


Answer

It depends entirely on the species. Some are more comfortable in a dry, desert-like habitat, and others prefer humid rain forest-like habitats. Aboreal species like to have things to climb on, whereas terrestrial species prefer burrows and other dark, cramped hiding places.
