[QUOTE="octanejunkie, post: 200521, member: 3872"] Is your current substrate 100% coco foir? If yes I recommend getting a bag of peat moss, like this: [ATTACH type="full"]59219[/ATTACH] [URL]https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0000CBITW/?tag=exoticpetnetw-20[/URL] Mix that with your coco substrate 50/50 and pack it down to leave 1.5-2x DLS (of the spider) free climbing height. I have found mixing coco foir and peat moss prevents mold from occuring, and you don't have to rehydrate the peat moss. Regarding how damp/moist your substrate should be, that depends on the animal you are keeping and what it's needs are. G pulchra wants drier substrate with a damp corner/overflowed water dish.
