About spiders
Here you will be able to find out informaton about spiders. The facts are based around if you was going to buy a spider.

• Before you get a pet spider you need to be sure that you are able to adequately care for one. Spiders require precise temperature, humidity, lighting, habitat and nutritional requirements depending on the species of spider you have.

• It is very important to keep a pet spider in a closed container, as they can slip through small crevices. Keep the container sealed, but allow for proper air-flow.

• Offer food to your pet tarantula every 3 days. Observe the eating patterns of the tarantula. Know that it may not eat for several days to a week before it starts molting.

• Observe them doing what is unique to them. Some species of spider can do something that most others cannot, which can be entertaining. There are jumping spiders, those that live most of their lives underwater, spiders that burrow underground and others that are light enough to walk on water. Each species has its own fascinating characteristics.

• Watch if your pet spider is curling his legs underneath him; it's a sign he's not feeling well. Take him to your veterinarian. If you don't have one, look one up under "exotic animals" or "exotic veterinarian" in the Yellow Pages. Exotic pet stores would also be able to give you a referral.

• See if your spider is lying on his back with his legs in the air; you should leave him alone. He is molting, and disturbing him during this time could injure or kill him because his new skin needs time to harden. Molting is the process of shedding skin, revealing a new, better-fitting one underneath. Molting may be preceded by a few days of relative lethargy and poor appetite. After molting, which usually takes a few days, your spider will flip over and resume eating in about a week. Don't feed your tarantula during the molt and for a week after to allow the new skin time to harden.
