[QUOTE="Nicolas C, post: 96310, member: 3795"] Hello Charlton. Stromatopelma calceatum don't need such a high humidity. In fact, it could be dangerous for them. I keep mine on dry substrate with only a dish full of water always available. You should either let the substrate dry (if it doesn't take too long) or rehouse on dry subs (which isn't an enjoyable perspective for a Stroma!). The hydrometer is useless for your tarantula: it'll only lead you into bad decisions concerning how to monitor humidity. You can get rid of it (or use it for snakes, etc.). By the way, could you please post a picture of the enclosure? It could help. Stromatopelma are arboreal (they need height and a vertical cork bark) but spend their daytime inside a burrow (often dug in the substrate). Maybe she's also just waiting for a molt to come? Or needing time to adjust to the new enclosure? But anyway, humidity is too high. [/QUOTE]
