[QUOTE="DewDrop, post: 58761, member: 4217"] Well, right now I have a spiderling. I have it on a potting medium mainly of peat moss, with some aquarium gravel in the bottom. I will change the substrate to a cleaned dried Spanish moss with aquarium gravel in the next few days. I might try adding a little live sand, in the corner of the enclosure for a little added salt water humidity and a place for it to go or for looks if anything. Still reading up on live sand before I try it. I use aquarium salt and make a gallon of water to keep on hand to keep the substrate damp in efforts to help keep it clean and provide the spider with a way to get that electrolyte if it needs it. Aquarium salt water so far hasn't bothered my other spider, in it's substrate in it's enclosure Keeping fresh water in a small dish is fine, however my spiderling is too young right now for anything other than prey, but it gets a soda cap full of freshwater anyway in it's enclosure. I like the spider's environment to look nice and go with the room the spider is in and as long as it is good for the spider I don't mind skimping on looks. As far as a hide, just making it a little place in the substrate for it to crawl in if it wants is fine for me. [/QUOTE]
