[QUOTE="Casey K., post: 174703, member: 1090"] A humid environment (I have found from personal experience) is essential for Caribena and Avicularia species due to issues in molting. Tarantulas do have a layer of moisture that builds up between their old exoskeleton and new exoskeleton that helps during the removal of the old exoskeleton during a molt, however, if the environment is dry for these species, I have found that it will cause that fluid between exoskeletons to dry up fairly quickly, resulting in molting issues.
