[QUOTE="Phil, post: 184721, member: 4151"] The rosea looks to be in good enough shape and I dont really think there is anything to worry about with the LP either. general advice based on those set ups. 1. replace the substrate with coco fibre if you can and add more depth than what is in there. 2. Water dishes. You have mentioned already but just make sure there is plenty of fresh water for them. I use cooled down boiled water for all my spiders. 3. Cross ventilation. If there aren't any ventilation holes on the side of the enclosures, then they would benefit from some. Just makes sure especially for the LP that the holes are not too large and that it could escape 4. Feeding. Again you have mentioned. General rule of thumb is not to feed anything bigger than the size of the spiders abdomen. 5. Temperature. Just in case you were worried, as long as you feel comfortable in the house with the temps, your spiders will. No need to add heat mats unless absolutely necessary. Air temps of about 20 to 22°C is absolutely fine for those. 6. Humidity. Don't over spray or worry about humidity. In the UK the ambient humidity is about 65% anyway so just alight mist in one side of the enclosure is fine. do not have wet substrate especially for the rosea as they don't like it. Apart from that general advice/pointers, I dont really see anything for you to worry about. Nice spiders you have. :) [/QUOTE]
