[QUOTE="Whitelightning777, post: 131542, member: 26980"] That depends on the species. High humidity is fatal to Avics. Others like my rescue T stirmi require it among with actually keeping the substrate moist. Ts can't drink from a sponge obviously and won't drown either. The heating should be approached very carefully. If you only use a 25 watt bulb or less & keep it 8" or greater distance from anywhere the T can go, you'll probably be ok. You must check for any hot spots prior to placing the tarantula into that situation. What actually does the damage is the creation of a hot spot that would burn even human hands in most cases or actually putting it into or on top of the enclosure. Water dishes need to be checked and kept filled TWICE daily. You'll also need a rheostat switch / voltage controller to get the the exact temps you want. I have a video that I'll PM you about it. Don't fast forward through the drawbacks. [/QUOTE]
