Need help naming new terrarium pet!

[severum mama]

I've been researching care requirements for a few different options for my terrarium, and I finally chose one. Here are some pics, help me name her!

She's a Chilean rose tarantula. I just let her out (I hope she is a female since they live longer) a few minutes ago and she's already exploring everything. She's much more active than I expected.

And yes, I got a a screen lid that latches down pretty securely, plus the light sits top of the lid. :grinyes:

She has big fangs.:devil:

wow!! you know something, those are something I have always wondered about yet never was brave enough to get myself one.

I guess naming her Charlotte would be too "obvious", huh

how long do they live?

charlotte is my vote... she is beautiful.
ive had a couple rose hairs myself, and from what ive researched, they are a ground species, so more ground space with a simple hide spot (like a half log) is better than trees and sticks to climb on. but a lot of space is not good either. 5 gallons, i think, is pushing the limit for too much. small spaces make them feel secure. they cannot see well, so less space, but enough to move around, is good..
and, if it is in fact a female, she will probably get a little too hefty to climb, lol.

also, clothing can hurt the hooks on their little feet, so if you have her out, let explore her on your skin, or solid surfaces, not your shirt.
good luck, and enjoy your pretty little friend.
