[QUOTE="m0lsx, post: 168721, member: 29323"] When you say a pink toe, I assume you mean an Avic avic? As there are several different pink toes. When it comes to humidity, change the approach & start to think good air circulation & moist substrate, as Avic avics [B][U]NEED[/U][/B] good air circulation as much as they need moist air. In my Theraphosa stirmi's large floor space enclosure I use moist substrate & a large water bowl, plus regular misting to keep the air moist. With my Avic avic I use an enclusure with a much smaller floor space, so I have to use a smaller water bowl & less substrate. So I use sphagnum moss over part of the substrate to provide extra moisture & then I have plenty of plastic plants suspended from the top of the enclosure, which adds to the area I can mist regularly. But all round ventilation is as important as moisture. [/QUOTE]
