Temperature and humidity.

[spidylover]

Well i just bought a Mexican Red Knee/Fire leg but i kinda freak out because his enclosure humid is 77% and my commom room temp is 29 - 34 c.Its 31 right now.Please someone give me an advice because im a newb.

 

[Anthony York]

are you spraying the enclosure.

 

[tcrave]

can you show us a picture of the enclosure

 

[spidylover]

Yes i did spray it once and put a water dish inside.

 

[spidylover]

Can my spidy live on 29-34 c temp?his size is 1,1/2 inch.

 

[Anthony York]

try just overflowing the dish and not spraying see if that helps with humidity. you should be fine just keeping the room at room temp

 

[spidylover]

its 84% humid right now and .. i live in a rainforest country xD.My room humid without moisting is 75 %.I'm using a plastic round hygrometer.I'm trying to decrease the humid by turning the fans on.

 

[Anthony York]

you might have to get you a dehumidifier

 

[Anthony York]

how big is your t. it a sling juvi or adult

 

[spidylover]

1 and a half inch.

 

[Anthony York]

ok well best thing I can tell you to do is let the enclosure dry out for the next few days don't spray any more and just over flow the water dish. if that doesn't work you might need to get a dehumidifier.

 

[spidylover]

k i will keep my eye on him.

 

[Anthony York]

ok and good luck hope what I told you helps

 

[spidylover]

Wait aren't MF a nocturnal and hes not walking so much in the dark?/

 

[spidylover]

ARGHHHHHHHHHHH HUMID IS 88 % SHOULD I DRY THE SUB IN MICROWAVE??REPLY ASAP

 

[Anthony York]

it would be better to just change it out with dry substrate if you have but if you don't it might be better to use the oven.

 

[Anthony York]

most T's are actually nocturnal well that is normal for the one you have they usually don't move much from what I have read and been told

 

[spidylover]

1)He don't go down much and his enclosure is a 14X8X12 hes 1,1/2 inch should i put him in the cup or his new enclosure?
Humid in my house wont go down lower than 70 what should i do?Should i get a heat pad?Well i found out that i bought a good humid keeper substrate.

 

[spidylover]

well can i keep my t on 98% humid?

 

[Anthony York]

don't think so best thing to do is put the substrate in the oven and dry it out heat the oven up to about 350 and put the substrate in for about 10 to 15 mins check it to see if its dry if not put it back in and keep checking on it until it is dry
