[QUOTE="henri_the_spider, post: 193365, member: 31243"] Thanks for the friendly reply:) Make sense that they have more options in terms of hiding in the wild. My T webbed her net in the inside of the huge cork bar at around the middle of the height - soo i guess she is okay with the humidity? Otherwise she would go higher? Since you said there has been no harm documented when the substrate is a little drier I think I'll just water the enclosure less often and since it is really high I'll try the springtail - worm - ****tail i think:) Also thats something I actually thought a lot about: I think that there is much incorrect information in the internet about optimal tarantula keeping. There are sings to see if your T is well but I dont think that all of the people who "give the advice" are able to read these signs perfectly or just misinterpret them. Also some of the mistakes you made may not be visible at the beginning, only when your female Tarantula dies after 4 years instead of 10. I remember reading an article about Chromatopelma Cyaneopubescens keeping, that said, that in the beginning when this species was introduced to the tarantula hobby they thought that the enclosures should be much more humid than the actually should be - as they later realized. Until they where aware of this misinformation many of the animals have died because they could not escape the little wet enclosures they were in. Since the T does not speak to you (in words) I think that with no experience it is really hard sometimes to do the right thing. So that way more a general thing i sometimes think about and not against you or something:) [/QUOTE]
