Chilean Rose Hairs

[animeavatar]

I have a few questions about them. First, what type of water should I use? Is tap water okay or should I use bottled?
What are some good staple diets for them? Can I use pheonix worms?
Do I have to dust their foods?If so, with how much and how often(I don't think my cousin dusts the feeders)?
Thanks!:main_thumbsup:

I always feed my rosey T a mix of crickets, locust, mealworms and roaches. I used aged tap water.

Are there any 'bad' things it can give my gecko( eg. diseases, parasites) if the T has any 'bad' things and they walk( the T doesn't really move) on the same carpet( at different times)?

Use aged tap water or bottled water. No dusting, inverts don't have skeletons, no need for extra calcium. Feed crickets, roaches, etc. Pheonix worms will most likely be ignored, spiders hunt based on prey movement and worms aren't likely to move enough.

Inverts rarely carry diseases or parasites transferable to reptiles unless they are eaten. Wash your hands before handling the gecko and don't allow them to come in direct contact, mostly because spiders have a defense system(uricating hairs) that are irritants.
