Message: <blockquote data-quote="Phil" data-source="post: 175936" data-attributes="member: 4151">Great advice from [USER=1090]@Casey K.[/USER] When you know a spider is in premoult higher temps and humidity seems to make the process a lot easier in my experience also. I increased my temps in the spider house recently (mainly to coincide with warmer months plus.I have 2 females sitting on sacs atm) I have also been running a humidifier to keep humidity at about 70 to 75% in case the heater dried things out too much.No coincidence that I have had a lot of successful (and some unexpected) moults recently. Certainly does no harm but as others have said,  especially for arid species, this is just a one off to help moulting, 'normal' conditions of dryish coco fibre with the overflowed water dish is normally fine for most species.Look forward to OP sending pics in his or her new 'clothes'</blockquote>
