Its just the basic care but Mike has a lot of experience in terrestrial species. Grammastola species "are" slow growers, eat well, kick urticating hairs as a defense measure, docile for the most part and easy to care for. You seem to have a sling so moist, "just moist" substrate is what they need. Slings burrow, it makes them feel "safe", most will burrow next to the hide or wherever they make their minds to dig. You will rarely ever see a T drink from a water dish but "do" supply one in the enclosure. This will get you on the right track of caring for your T.  Check the forums search engine for answers to questions you might have later. If not, ask on here, we're here to help those new to the hobby. Welcome to the forum and happy T'ing.</blockquote>
