Lovely addition,So don't bother with the humidity gauge you will kill a T trying to chase humidity numbers. When it's said a T needs Humidity what is meant is how damp the substrate is, I don't know much about this species so I can't tell you how damp or dry It needs to be but I'm sure someone can help there. It needs way more substrate if you do keep it In that, and what is the top like on it? Does it have any sort of mesh? A T can get there feet caught if climbing and there has been cases of Ts chewing through some. I'd advise moving it into something a lot smaller. Something 3 to 4 times it's DLS (diagonal leg span) is generally advised, these are a Terrestrial spider meaning they will live most of there life on the ground, so with that it's advised to give them 1.5 times there DLS in space from the substrate surface to the ceiling of there enclosure, this is incase if any falls from height as you're T could get injured or in some cases die. I don't know how big a 50cent is, but if it was 1 inch, ideal enclosure for it would be a 4 inch cube with 2.5 inch of substrate in it to leave the 1.5 inch for head space. Don't use light to heat a T either bud, a small space heater is sufficient, but I actually think these guys prefer it on the cooler side of things another thing I'm hoping someone else can clarify but I'm sure they do fine at high 60s low 70s so you may not need any sort of heat source.Also I know how it is when you see these guys, you feel bad for them and want to give them proper care, but you have to try not to give in, buy from local breeders, reputable online dealers or invertebrate shows. Buying from a place like Petco, that just goes down as a sale to them, so, if something sells you get more and they are just going to do the same again, I know it sounds bad but better leaving that one there for the rest of its life than encouraging them to go get more.[USER=4031]@Ratmosphere[/USER][USER=1090]@Casey K.[/USER]You're the only 2 I can think of that's mentioned this species recently, maybe yous know a bit?
