Article: . If you've never talked to her, be sure to introduce yourself. When introducing yourself, say your name, then ask for her name. Make eye contact and if possible, face her. If you want to be polite, shake her hand. Say something simple like, "Hi, I'm Devin. We have math together. What's your name?" One she tells you her name, say her name back to her by saying, "It's nice to meet you, Genevieve." Especially when you are starting or initiating any conversation with a girl, avoid heavy loaded and negative statements or comments. Avoid tense topics such as politics or religion. Once you've been able to further establish a relationship with this girl, and after many more future conversations, should one approach such heavy handed topics. Even then, it should be approached with caution and with much respect for another person's opinions. Keep all conversations light, easy flowing and fun. Take this opportunity to ask the girl questions about herself expressing your interest in her likes, dislikes, and hobbies. If the girl starts to speak about negative topics, just gently redirect the conversation in another direction. Smiling is a simple way to be pleasant and approachable. It shows that you are friendly and open. People tend to feel safe or let their guard down around others who smile. This can be especially useful at the beginning of a conversation. Just don't smile too much, as she might think it's creepy. Smile when it's appropriate, like when you walk up to her, when she says something funny, or when you're enthusiastic about something.

Article: The best practice is to place one live insect or other creature in the tarantula's cage. Let your tarantula eat at its own pace. If the insects you have are too small to make a full single-serving meal, you may put several in the cage at once. Your tarantula may attack them all in succession, rolling them up into a "bolus" with its webbing, then eat them all at once. In the case of too-small insects, some tarantula owners prefer to put them in the cage one at a time over several days, so that the tarantula does not experience stress or harassment from uncaught prey. If you have put a large creature in the cage and are worried it may harm your tarantula, keep an eye on it and remove it if you think you have overestimated your tarantula's current state of strength and appetite. Baby tarantulas will often scavenge, and adult tarantulas will on occasion. In most cases, however, your full-grown tarantula will not recognize food unless that food moves. If you think your tarantula has failed to recognize live prey that is holding very still, try poking the prey lightly to induce movement. If you would like to induce your tarantula to eat food that is dead or holding still, such as a frozen pinkie mouse, you can also dangle it from the end of a string to make it seem lifelike. Pick a shallow dish, less than an inch in height. Fill it daily with about half an inch of water. The water should be just deep enough for your tarantula to submerge its fangs. You can buy a dish from a pet store, or use the lid of a jar. Change the water daily, and replace the dish if it is molding or rusting. Tarantulas do not drink often, as they receive most of their moisture from their food. However, they do drink at times, and they benefit from having some water around to create environmental moisture Tropical tarantulas, such as Avicularia Versicolor, living in dry environments may benefit from having areas of their cage misted with water every 2-3 days, then allowed to dry out entirely. Check the specifications for your species. Do not purchase "cricket gel" or sponges. Though some pet stores still sell them, they have been discredited as a source of moisture for your tarantula, and will quickly mold.
