Keeping one as a pet[edit]

There should be a special section about what special requirements it has in captivity, does it need misting, does it need a large cage,etc. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Spacecase610 (talk • contribs) 03:12, 11 March 2007 (UTC).[reply]

This is an old, ignored thread, but one that needs to be finalised by the info on WikiPets, a separate online encyclopedia devoted to collectors of tarantulas, scorpions and reptiles which does not need to be duplicated by WP. Cheers Bjenks (talk) 07:04, 21 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Capitalise proper name[edit]

Can someone with the knowledge/skill pls rename the article Greenbottle Blue Tarantula (cap inits for each word). Cheers Bjenks (talk) 05:04, 21 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Interestingly enough, different capitalization conventions are used for different groups of species. People who study birds almost always capitalize all the parts of the bird name. People who study fish usually only capitalize if the species is named after a person. Even more complicated rules exist. --TeaDrinker (talk) 06:53, 31 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The complete set of rules is laid out in the Manual of Style if you want all the details and exceptions, but basically vernacular names in article titles are lowercase except for the first word. Other examples: Blacktailed_red_sheetweaver, Box kite spider, Diving bell spider, Flower crab spider, Golden silk orb-weaver, Recluse spider, Spiny orb-weaver, Wall spider Sesame honey tart 16:54, 31 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Habitat[edit]

These spiders enjoy very dry climate. They will drink from a water dish, and misting is not needed. A dry habitat with a water dish and a place for them to hide such as a fish tank ornament for them to web up. They will even web quite busily as spiderlings —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.177.200.2 (talk) 21:09, 9 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
