What is springtails and how can I make more ventilationHi
In order to prevent mould you need to improve ventilation and if your species is alowing it reduce moisture levels of the substrate.
A bit of mould wont harm your tarantula so dont freak out about it.You can spot clean and add springtails too to help you out a bit.

What is springtails and how can I make more ventilation
How can I dry out my tank moreFrom the picture your ventilation looks fine - so use springtails (small amount) and let your enclosure dry out only keep it damp around the water dish and no where else(when you fill it just over flow it now and then) , for example if you have moss in there don't bother to wet it down, you have a brachypelma species and they like dry substrate anyway
Just leave the substrate to dry out naturally - it will take a while but if you just keep your water dish full it will be fine - in the meantime add a few springtails to clean up in the meantimeHow can I dry out my tank more
So Bring tails are bugs can’t escape my tank through the top or not And where can I buy springtailsSpringtails are tiny isopods that we like to call the "cleanup crew". They eat mold and decaying things in the terrarium to keep it clean but they won't hurt your tarantula. It's like having miniature "maids" in your tarantulas house.

You should be able to buy them from anywhere that sells isopods and feeders ectSo Bring tails are bugs can’t escape my tank through the top or not And where can I buy springtails

They don't tend to get out.. And as your enclosure drys out they will die off as they only survive in damp substrate which is a good thing because you don't want too many in there... They are not harmful to any pets at allHarmful to any pets or can they get out

They don't climb the glass... You buy them in a standard sized container.. When you get them you'll see that there's a lot in the tub so just put a small spoonful of them in the sub that's all you needAnd how many should I get

You don't have to care for them in anyway as they live off of the damp substrate and eat all the mould and stuff like that so they don't need anything additional -And how long do they live for
