    Am I okay to leave the door closed at night so that heat stays in the room when the furnace is running air through the vent?

    I'll obviously open it during the day, it's just at night, the vent isn't facing them directly or hitting the enclosures either, but the room obviously heats up.

    Am I okay to leave the door closed at night so that heat stays in the room when the furnace is running air through the vent?

    It can get pretty cold in my room if I don't leave the door closed so that the heat stays in the room at night from the vent from the furnace, is it okay if the door is left shut or are they going to end up dessicated?

    Packed the substrate down too firmly, how can I make a few inches of the surface less compacted?

    My G. Pulchra dug all the time with my other looser substrate, but I packed my new one down too much and now it is literally rock hard on the surface.

    Packed the substrate down too firmly, how can I make a few inches of the surface less compacted?

    I know my G. Pulchra likes to dig, don't know about my b. hamorii yet, what can I do to fix the compact substrate on the top?

    Is this the scared pose where Tarantula's protect themselves with their front legs?

    I mean it's fat for sure, maybe a little pale towards the back side. She is still eating though, at least last time I tried she took the pre-killed.

    Is this the scared pose where Tarantula's protect themselves with their front legs?

    I gave her another hide and just left it in there because it was a bit too big and she switched over to this one so, figured two options were better than one so hopefully it's more comfortable here. My G. Pulchra has been in pre-molt for weeks or at least I think so, she has still been eating...

    Can I stop with the moist corner now?

    Can't really do that, it's way too far underneath the substrate and I'd rather not horribly disturb the Tarantula.

    Can I stop with the moist corner now?

    Well the problem is, I used straws and went overboard in 4 different spots in the same corner and didn't realise it. Now I have white mold far underneath the substrate.

    Can I stop with the moist corner now?

    Both my G. Pulchra and B. Hamorii are like 1.5", can I stop giving them a moist corner and only rely on the water dish now or is that still a necessity? I've never seen them try to dig towards it.

    How big of a hole can a 1.5" Tarantula fit through?

    Used your suggested bit, worked much better on another container.

    I'm just gona start over on a new container

    How big of a hole can a 1.5" Tarantula fit through?

    I've got 38 holes on the sides, and 12 on the top.
