*unrelated*i couldn't help but notice you had an elfen lied poster

How tame is your mexican red knee?

[KirbyStyle2]

@mrcarrillo20 She is very tame actually. I don't think she has ever shown signs of aggression really. She kicks hairs sometimes and I try not to handle her too often. I could if I wanted but I generally just let her be.

Question has she molted yet

[KirbyStyle2]

@Disciples0 Yes she has now. As of the video she hadn't but she has molted once since this video was made. That should say something about how fast they grow haha

How long does it take them to reach adult size? Is it worth buying a baby and watching it grow up? I have been trying to decide between a Mexican Red Knee or a Rose Hair. Which would you recommend for a first tarantula?

[KirbyStyle2]

@brooklynboy521 It takes a Mexican Red Knee roughly 6ish years to reach adult size. Watching them grow up can be a rewarding experience. You may even get lucky and get a female out of it! For your first tarantula A Red Knee may be more interesting for you. Rose hairs get kinda boring. I would also recommened a Chaco golden knee (see my other vid to check her out) or a Pink Zebra Beauty!

Very beautiful spider. I don't agree with keeping these kinds of animals as pets, but nevertheless it's a great specimen that appears well taken care of. Redknees have always been my favorites.

@KirbyStyle2 The only thing I'm worrying about is it's living "conditions" I guess. It's hard to tell whether or not it's 100% comfortable. They don't exactly move around much lol. I live in Scotland, which is obviously pretty cold. But my room is generally warm, and I have a heat pad for it under the tank. I've got the compost stuff just moist enough that it feels slightly cool, I was careful not to make it too damp.

It's hard to know if I have everything set up well lol.
