[QUOTE="Gizalba, post: 190912, member: 31253"] Thanks! Argh, it looks like everyone has their own avic methods even now the husbandry of avics is meant to be solved/simple. Trying to hold in some humidity was why I hadn't put holes in the top in the first place. But then other people say that in captivity Avics do best with it completely dry, not like in their natural habitat. I have also seen several people say that humidity does not matter at all and Tom Moran mentioned on his podcast how humidity has become a dirty word in the tarantula community... lol. So now we seem to have consensus of no misting, no stagnant conditions, good ventilation. However there still seems to be argument as to whether we either do dry, or create some air humidity via damp substrate, damp moss. I have actually got some vermiculite on the bottom of my avic enclosures as it's meant to hold more moisture without going mouldy... who knows whether I've got that right :P [/QUOTE]
