In keeping a tarantula you must do a research first becuase there are some tarantula that are not for beginners and there are some that are suitable for beginners

Before keeping a tarantula you must need this things

1. Enclosure - this is where you put your tarantula, make sure it has a cover so your tarantula won't escape

2. Substrate -  for me  cocopet or cocofiber is the best substrate for my tarantulas, substrate is very important because its represents as a soil for your tarantulas

3. Feeders - there are many variety of feeders like for example roaches, worms and crickets

4. Tweezers/Forceps - for your safety do not' feed your tarantula with your barehands because some of them are very aggressive when you feed them

I hope this will help for those who want to statt at this kind of hobby
