As far too many who make videos are not really concerned about, or know anything about, the T's. They are more concerned about the number of hit's they get, rather than about the quality of the information.Care plan wise, if you read them, read them with caution. And book wise, remember the Tarantula Keepers Guide is VERY out of date husbandry wise.Humidity is like a human. It is much more than a number. Don't try & chase a humidity number. As humidity is the result of the correct husbandry, not a separate entity.  And the three hygrometer's that  I have sitting on my mantelpiece all constantly show different numbers. So even if someone does chase a number, how do they know if they have achieved it or not?</blockquote>
