Id put more substrate in as if its kicking it about it may want to burrow. I personally wouldnt mist the substrate as it could start the grow mould. As long as youve got a water dish it should be fine. Welcome to the hobby, you will soon be addicted and buying many more. I dont handle my red knee coz shes a bit stroppy, but have handled my other ts and ive never once been bitten when theyve gone by my wrist and could feel pulse. Just dont try to handle it if it tries to retreat, flicks hairs and threat poses. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></p></blockquote><p></p>
