When I  first bought this tarantula I fed it  tiny crickets or cricket parts every third day except when nearing a molt. In July after it molted I started feeding it a small cricket every third day. It piled substrate up on one side while staying toward the bottom of the vial when tiny. Humidity is kept  at  65-80% Purchased as a spiderling from K-8 inverts around April 1 2017 Maximum size is reportedly 6.5 inches toe to toe.
