Humidity/design questions

[Kicks]

I’ve got an avicularia Metallica and I’m keeping him at 73° at the moment. His enclosure has a mesh roof and vents on the front, I was wondering how I can keep the humidity up? Do I need more plants?

This is a nice setup as Avicularia require a lot of air flow. You can keep the substrate moist but not wet, you absolutely want to avoid swampy conditions. As long as you'll have a large enough water bowl she should be just fine. When replacing the water at least once a week, overflow the bowl just a little to add humidity to the soil around it, it should be more than enough. Cheers.

This was really helpful, thank you!

Avics tend to web at the top.

I put foliage around the top of the same enclosure to keep Rebecca from webbing the lid shut

She's an M6 Avic about 6" in size

Thank you so much! That’s a great idea for sure. She looks awesome!

I like Sphagnum moss where I want more humidity.
