[QUOTE="Arachnoclown, post: 128440, member: 27444"] Ive got a few stirmi's and I had a 20 year old blondi till she passed. They are pretty easy to care for...they require moist substrate, not wet. Plus they need lots of cross ventilation. I recently rehoused one of my males that was in a 30 gallon tank. Normally I keep them in tubs with lots of cross ventilation but they suck because you can't see them. My males 30 gallon tank was getting stagnant because I was only venting the top. I was doing substrate changes a couple times a year just so I could showcase one of my Stirmi's. I ended up kicking down some serious coin on a exoterra tank which works great after some mods to the screen top. Ive got plenty of cross ventilation now and i can see my beast. Thats my only advise to you...30 fish tanks only work great on arid species. Lasiodora parahybana would probably be the best birdeater for that enclosure...they are around the 3rd or 4th largest birdeater and they can be in a more dry climate which will be easy to obtain with your enclosure. Here's my rehouse from the 30 to the exoterra if your Interested in that [MEDIA=youtube]g8kxCAp6UPM[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
