[QUOTE="Evestri, post: 160986, member: 30848"] Hello all, As a way of introducing myself to this forum, first I should say that I am a college student based out of CA who has recently gotten into the hobby of tarantula keeping. I bought a .75" B. Albipilosum about 5 months ago during a local exotic pet expo and have been quite happy with my new pet, although I have a few questions regarding its care. Luckily, it has been eating a diet of meal worms and has molted twice so far with no incident. My first question is, what substrate is best for my tarantula? I have been using a 100% peat moss substrate and keeping it dry. Is the Albipiosum OK having little moisture? Humidity around my house is typically in the 40-50% range but the critter-keeper i have it in has rad ventilation. Secondly, I have had it in .5" of peat moss and have been considering increasing its substrate depth to 4" so it can make a good burrow. Should I go ahead increasing its substrate or should I keep it they way it is? I've heard that juevnile and sling T's often like to burrow. [/QUOTE]
