LPS Rescue - G Rosea

After I went and saw Transformers II, I stopped at the LPS on the way back home, and saw this G Rosea huddled in the corner of her tank, on a substrate of wood chips. (I saw this same T in there a few months previous, and left tips on the PROPER care of a rosie..they didn't listen). There was a bright light on the tank, two sponges in the water dish, and a few beetles in the tank, a long thin branch for climbing on, and no hide.

Apparently these are conditions their "long time breeder with 10 years experience" instructed them to keep it in.

I took this little waif from them, named her Jo, and picked up a KK and crickets from PetCetera (going out of business, sale on EVERYTHING in the store. I intend to buy their fish tanks when the fish are gone at reduced prices and converting them to T homes), and tomorrow I'll get some substrate for her.

that was really nice of you to do. half of the time pet stores don't even know what they are doing. Hope she is doing good soo far.

I sort of did the same thing with my Rose Hair. I can't see why pet stores give such poor care to tarantulas, it's not like they're going to spend more money doing it the right way
