Besides, I have Spanish moss that the avic can climb and web in. Any time wood rots it could make you sick. I don't have the humidity very high but a little condensation does bead close to the substrate when I have the heater on just from the slight dampness. I am picky about how the enclosures look. I like them to look nice and cardboard tubing isn't my idea of nice, just only in a pinch. It can be arranged with the Spanish moss where it is not visible and she can get in it, just things can be done with the tubes making a cheap way to be creative and keep the humidity down.  My A. Avic has a habit of webbing her water jar. It is a small jar but tall. She webs on top of it and rests directly on the opening. So while we go on about humidity it is clear this spider wants more of it. She is doing great and so is the G. Rosea. Both close to premolt. At closer inspection of the G. Rosea it appears she is close to premolt and may not be in it. Once I find my camera cord I will photo them and you can tell me.</p></blockquote><p></p>
