[QUOTE="DewDrop, post: 58947, member: 4217"] The environment is one that can create a breeding ground for fungus, mold, bacteria, parasites... ...when the substrate is not sterile before introduction and if feeders and waste from feeders are left in the habitat. Ideally the objective is to keep it clean without any mold, fungus, bacteria, parasites.. ..with humidity levels that are crucial for the tarantula to thrive. I am not responsible for anyone's trantulas, but my own. ok. But this is what I do: 1. one inch of gravel in the bottom, sitting in 1/2 inch or less weak salinity from aquarium salt water freshly mixed by directions then further watered down. 2. peat moss on top 1/2 inch for arboreal, 2 inches for terrestrial. Spanish moss mix clean, natural, dried for terrestrial mixed with peat. 3. hermit crab uth (under tank heater) on the side above the substrate close to the bottom. 4. One small canning glass jar full of fresh water. The pink toe webbed on top of this for some odd reason. No fatalities. No causalities. Just, you know, you do what works for you. My pink toe loves it's habitat and the g. rosea seems to be very happy. The habitat in general as I have mentioned has worked fantastic for the pink toe for one year so far. I am not giving advice, I am just saying it hasn't hurt my spider at all and the molting has gone fantastic. [/QUOTE]
