[QUOTE="Samuraisid, post: 685, member: 344"] Rosies dont like humidity. Bone dry substrate and a waterdish. Never overflow the waterdish and never mist the substrate/ walls of the enclosure. The link Josh provided is to Stan Schultz website. He wrote the book, "The Tarantula Keepers Guide" and highly suggest you pick it up. Go through all of his writings there. Stan will set you straight on a lot of misinformation out there. With the exception of a few generae (Hysterocrates, Haplopelma, Theraphosa) and very young Ts, humidity is never ever a real concern. Also if you feel the need to buy a hygrometer, make sure to buy a very expensive one at a hardware store. Most of the exo-terra hygros dont work on the shelves. In fact, compare them side by side. If they all dont have the exact same reading, something is wrong. Then take them to the fish section and hold them over the vent. They should all jump equally, or else they dont work... [/QUOTE]
