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

She didn't think Smaug was likely to use the computers, but it couldn't hurt to be polite. Besides, they had been.

From the Forbidden Forest? I'd think emulating the environment there would be best for the spider. It's cool (temperature-wise) and dark because the sun doesn't penetrate the canopy in many areas, and there are pine, oak, sycamore, yew, and beech trees, and knotgrass.
Acromantulas themselves are native to the rainforests of Southeast Asia, and possess near-human intelligence and are capable of human speech. So entertaining your spider is probably a necessity if you don't want it to become bored and engage in destructive behavior. Their venom is also valued at 100 Galleons a pint. It could end up paying entirely for its own care if it had to.
There's much more information in the Hogwarts library (in the restricted section, anyway), if you're interested, but I don't know how much of it will help you care for one. I'd recommend finding out as much as you can if you intend to keep the spider. And good luck!

Thank you. I don't know if she is from the forest but I will try to keep her cool and I know spiders like dark places anyway. And I will find her more things to play with.

Jenks sat down on the spacebar, resting for a moment. It took a lot of work to jump on every single key when he used the computer. A bit of a pain in the ass, but it kept him amused while he was stuck inside all winter.

And I'll try not to let her scare people.
