Answer 1

Yes you can but just make sure that you keep it moist at all times. They can go a very long time without food but without moisture, They wont make it.  Put something in there for it to hide and feed it on pinhead crickets or whatever is the smallest you can get.

Answer 2

Container: A tarantula should be kept in a 5-10 gallon glass aquarium.  Only one tarantula should be kept in a single aquarium.  The lid should be escape proof and should retain some humidity, but there should be holes present to allow for air exchange (important for reducing mold).

Housing Features:  The bottom of a tarantula cage should be lined with 3-5 inches of moist potting soil or peat moss.  Make sure to use potting soil or peat moss that is free of added pesticides or fertilizers.  Do not use soil from the yard or outside garden: it is likely contaminated with pesticides and microbes that can kill the spider.  Replace with fresh soil at least once a month.  You should also provide a place for the tarantula to hide (like dried coconut halves).  

Humidity and Water: Although many tarantula species require high humidity, the Chilean Rose Hair, Mexican Red-Knee, and the Brazilian Black need only moderate humidity levels.  As long as the soil isn't completely dry, it is probably humid enough, and this level of humidity will probably be maintained by the presence of a water dish.  Use a shallow dish, always keep it filled with fresh water, and clean the dish at least once every few days.

Food: Pet tarantulas will feed on crickets purchased at a pet store.  If you buy a baby tarantula, make sure to ask for tiny "pinhead crickets."  As a general rule, always give your spider crickets that are no larger than one-half the body length.  Offer the spider a few crickets (3-5) at a time, but only 1-2 times per week.  If the spider doesn't eat the crickets in an hour or so, remove the crickets and offer them again in a few days.

Temperature: room temperature or warmer, up to about 85 degrees F

Mexican Red-Knee Tarantula, Brachypelma smithi:  Probably the second-most popular tarantula, the red-knee is known for its attractive brown and orange pattern and its docile temperament. Red-knee females can live for 20 years (males will only live for 4-5 years) when cared for properly and can grow to about 5-6 inches.
