[QUOTE="Arachtastic, post: 195537, member: 37146"] If you talk to any hobbyist or enthusiast, pet stores know almost to absolutely nothing about 90% of the animals they sell. Don't listen to some random making 9$ an hour to sell you pets. Do your research and talk to people who have been keeping tarantulas (or whatever pet your keeping) for years en masse. They will know far more than any pet store worker. As for the gel balls I agree completely. No gel balls, water dish and over flow once a week just slightly of you're worried about humidity. As for temperature (65-75) I'd say prolly good. If you're comfortable so are they. I'd switch from meal worms to crickets or roaches. Too many super worms or meal worms can cause over calcification in their joints which will lead to complications and possible limb loss during molt. Use meal worms as a once in a while treat kinda deal. Don't make the mistake of accepting the word of some glorified sales attendant who may or may not even have a high school diploma. Take the word of people who are heavily engrossed in the topic in question. (The people giving you advice {myself not included} have at least 3 years in breeding and history on this app alone. They know what they are talking about. [/QUOTE]
