Message: <blockquote data-quote="LuboMoravcik" data-source="post: 129422" data-attributes="member: 27159">Some sources online say they need dry substrate and similar humidity to other Brachypelma species, but I've read conflicting information stating that they're the exception to the Brachypelma rule, in that they require relatively moist substrate and higher humidity.For example, here (<a href="https://www.theraphosidae.be/en/brachypelma-albopilosum/" target="_blank">https://www.theraphosidae.be/en/brachypelma-albopilosum/</a>) it says "but however the genus “Brachypelma” might make you think different, she always lives very close to a direct water source in the Costa Rican tropical rain forests. Preferring it rather warm and humid, please don’t make the common mistake providing her dry substrate. Mature males are very similar to Brachypelma vagans’ males."So, what's the correct information?</blockquote>
