Spider Keeper's Care Log

A 12-page printable record book for keeping a pet tarantula, with care notes quoted or summarised from the British Tarantula Society, the RSPCA and the Royal Veterinary College. Where those sources don’t give one figure for every species (humidity, how often to feed), there’s a blank to fill in from your breeder or your species’ care guide, rather than a made-up number.

What’s inside:

- Cover

- Before you start: research, choosing captive-bred, keeping the paperwork (including which tarantulas are CITES-listed in UK law), and never releasing a pet spider

- Spider profile: name, species, where it came from, paperwork checklist, your species’ needs (fill-in), and your vet’s details

- Enclosure set-up checklist with the British Tarantula Society’s beginner set-up notes

- Feeding tracker (2 pages)

- Moulting tracker with what to do (and not do) when your spider stops eating

- Weekly enclosure checks

- Moving your spider and a vet visit record

- Notes and observations

- Lifespan (two sources, both shown) and a milestones log

- Credits, licence and sources

Pages: 12 (including cover and credits). Sizes: A4 (210 × 297 mm) and US Letter (8.5 × 11 in), both PDFs included in one zip.

Printing: Print at 100% / actual size on A4 or US Letter. Inside pages use light backgrounds and print well in black and white; the cover is dark, so start from page 2 to save ink. Print extra copies of the tracker pages as you need them.

Every care note is checked against named source pages (the British Tarantula Society, the RSPCA, the Royal Veterinary College and legislation.gov.uk; checked 30 Oct 2026), and the sources are listed on the credits page. Where sources give different figures, both are shown with their source. This log is a record book, not a substitute for advice from a vet or your breeder; care needs differ between species. Drawings and layouts are REALLYBYTE’s own work. Not endorsed by any of these organisations.

Licence: personal and single-classroom use. You may print as many copies as you need for your own family or your own class, and share it with your class through a password-protected platform. Please don’t resell, re-upload or share it publicly. For school-wide use, please email info@reallybyte.com.
