Couple inches to 1/3 full of substrate 2. Cork bark in the corners along with decor (moss, leaves, plants either real or fake) * 3. Water dish Substrate Options: Coco fiber, topsoil, peat moss, vermiculite, AGB mix, premade substrate Temp: 72-76 or room temp Humidity: Just always keep water bowl full or drip water down one corner, so they can drink off the webs Food Sling:  1 small cricket or roach, any prey pre killed/ no bigger than 2/3 of the sling’s size Juvie: 2 medium crickets Adult: 2-3 large crickets, some meal/waxworms for variety Feeding Schedule* (If this is someone reviewing this or is pet sitting, please look at notes) Cleaning: Remove uneaten prey after 24 hours, be careful as the urticating hairs can get stuck in the enclosure so wear gloves, don’t worry about destroying webbing when getting uneaten prey, deep clean every few months Notes: The 4x’s the length of the spider applies to adults as well, Enclosure must be VERY well ventilated, if/when using fake plants best go with plastic and not fabric, Feeders can hide in the moss so don’t put too much, Feeding depends on the size of the abdomen (if it’s bigger than the head feed less, if it’s smaller feed more)</blockquote>
