They molt frequently when they are young, their first molts, or "instars", can occur once every 2-4 weeks. But after the spider is sexually mature, that is, you can tell what sex it is, they generally molt once every 1-2 years. I bought a 4 year old female about 1 year ago and she still hasn't molted. Don't worry if your tarantula is a bit behind, every spider is different.

This depends on the age of the Tarantula. While younger tarantulas will molt much faster about every two months, the adults will molt about every one or two years. The older they get the less they molt.
Tarantulas act on instinct. That said some species handle being held better than others. However, handling will stress out all tarantulas and should be done as little as possible. For a rose hair it's ok to handle if you need to clean the cage or want to show friends. But just know each T has their own personality and you should take that into consideration when holding.
Happy holding!
Tarantula's depending on species/size will
need feeding at different times, some tarantulas

No. While tarantulas occasionally eat small snakes an anaconda is far too large.
Goliath tarantula eat birds that land mainly in the Amazonian Rainforest's.
they eat fruit
your funny
Remember, the tarantula is such a powerful predator, it can eat almost anything bigger than itself, even a boa constrictor!
yes, depending on the sizes. ANSWER No...it cannot eat it, its poison would most certainly be enough to kill the tarantula but a black widow would be eaten the instant the tarantula senses it.
Unless it came across carrion (a dead body) a tarantula would not eat a bird as large as an eagle. Eagles commonly do not eat insects or arachnids, but if it were hungry enough and a tarantula was the only prey available, and eagle theoretically might eat a tarantula.
The tarantula injects its prey with poison from its fangs. The poison paralizes the prey then turns the prey's insides into mush. The tarantula sucks out the mush.
