For this species I give 9” of moistened (not wet) topsoil. I never let it dry out by generously overflowing the water dish every week. This keeps that humidity in the soil meaning the spider can construct its burrow to go where the moisture/humidity is when requires it. The have a small tolerance to dry spells but never let the enclosure completely dry out.As for temperatures, room temps are fine but ideally you want to range the temps from 22-28C.</blockquote>
