[QUOTE="Arachnoclown, post: 162475, member: 27444"] First off tarantulas need water within to molt (consumption). They push water between the new and old exoskeletons to slide out. They only need a water dish/food for this. Humidity in the enclosure/soil has nothing to do with the molting process. A sling on bone dry soil is perfectly fine as long as it has a water dish/moss. I keep my 100s of slings on dry substrate. Wet soil and stuffy enclosures are not a good thing for slings and often cause problems with many keepers. Also another helpful tip, a water dish should move to a dry spot every other time you water to avoid oversaturation and mold. [/QUOTE]
