not just for Christmas ((compy post))

Coraline's Secret Santa present had been a lot more surprising than she expected. The baby Acromantula was currently living in a box in her room, being fed by very nervous house elves. Coraline had named her Berry, in the vague hope that giving her a name would make her seem more like a pet and less like a really big spider. It wasn't helping much.

The library had not provided useful advice. The only book Coraline had found with any reference to keeping Acromantulas as pets said 'don't even think about it', and while she privately agreed, it was far too late for that now. So she decided to ask on the compy network instead. Surely someone would know something helpful.

It wasn't a long post. Coraline's written vocabulary was still smaller than her spoken one, and she gave up on spelling 'Acromantula' after the fifth attempt.

Does anyone know how to look after giant spiders?
