I don't see the point in aggravating the OP further, when the point has already been made that increasing substrate would be the best choice. The OP said they were considering adding more substrate...that's good enough for me. Attacking the OP is not helping the situation in any way shape or form. I'm a fan of pointing out improper husbandry, but I am also sick of seeing people get treated like garbage for making a mistake or not knowing better. Should they have done better research? Yes. But they are here now so let's work together to make every one a better hobbyist. Educate, don't berate. This is exactly why people stop coming to forums like this and then when they have a real problem, they don't ask questions that could save their tarantulas life because their worried about being picked to pieces by people on the internet.

I also don't think the OP's primary language is English, I could be completely off target there but that's how it comes across, in which case they may have trouble communicating clearly.
