Welcome, Andrew!

Welcome to the forum and great choice of T's. The B. smithi will like it a little on the dry side while the A. avic will need some decent humidity. With higher humidity stick with cocofiber and cork bark. Stay away from the local sticks and wood which will create a great environment for mold.

I didn't know cork bark was anti-mold too! That's a great suggestion!

 

[BigOtto]

It's not completely molt proof. Some care should still be taken with it.

Hi,
I have a rescue tarantula (Pepsis Wasp victom

). Already named her Natasha, we've had her since Sep 26th and she "woke up" after about 3 weeks. She still can't chase down her food and we roll her over on her back while in my hand and give her strained cricket with an eyedropper. Slow, but it works. She has her own 10 gal condo with heater, water, coconut shell base over sand. As such we have no idea how old she is or if she will survive us. My Wife thinks she tickles a lot.
