[QUOTE="Seekeroftruth, post: 182051, member: 33210"] So i live in a city, kind of. Nothing like new York City but still the air quality is far from optimal and indoors supposedly is worse. I was reading that if the environmental conditions is not preferable to the tarantula, they will try to postpone molting. Not to mention the death of one of my slings after smoking a couple of ciggerettes in my t room. Also the air quality indoors tends to be worse than outside. I was wondering if anyone has noticed quicker molts (specifically with slings) by using a air purifier with hepa filter or routinely opening windows? I used to own an air purifier with hepa filter and personally felt the differences. I would imagine t's, especially arboreal ones, would benefit greatly from this. Im not sure however, how drastic of a difference it would make. Instead of windows in my T room, i have a sliding glass door, without a screen unfortunately. I'm trying to make a habit of opening the doors once per day, but due to bugs outside that's it for now, unless someone shares that they have had noticeable quicker molts by doing so. The cost of a hospital quality air purifier is high, so i would want to know there would be noticeable quicker molts before making that kind of investment. [/QUOTE]
