[QUOTE="testdasi, post: 173542, member: 32655"] Getting a sling? Be mindful that Grammostola species tend to grow very slowly so don't be too keen on getting those big enclosures any time soon. For slings, keeps it moist since they like to burrow. Spray the side of the enclosure so you have droplet of water that it will drink from. For juvie and up, don't watch humidity using a gauge, it's useless for T. You just need to keep the subtrate slightly moist (if in doubt, err on the drier side) and watch your T. If it seems to like to hang out on the wall of the enclosure (or off the ground e.g. on top of the hide), the substrate is too wet so let it dry out a bit more. If it seems to be next to the water dish all the time then it's too dry so spray a bit (again, err on the drier side) - I doubt this would happen but it can happen depending on your local humidity level. And always keep the water dish clean and full (I tend to just overflow the dish every time it's refilled). [/QUOTE]
