Hello, I just bought my first T, a baby grammastola pulchripes, I've found some good info online about them, but havn't found much about humidity. any tips? Its a baby about the size of quarter.
I wouldn't worry about humidity. I have three slings (two at 3/4" and one just over 1") and I keep them on a dry cocofiber/peat mix and moisten down one corner of the substrate by dribbling water on it once a week or so. They like to dig at that size, so give them an enclosure with at least a few inches of substrate. They can be little bulldozers, and it's fun watching them endlessly excavate their substrate.
+1 to what Tomoran said. They can use more humidity as slings, keep a moist corner. They generally like a dry substrate. Once it's big enough for a water dish humidity isn't a worry at all. Just keep the water dish full and over flow it every once in a while. They are fantastic T's, enjoy!
