You should be somewhere in the red area on that gage....super dry is the key. Less then 40% humidity is what my tarantula room is at. The only humidity should be of what the waterbowl is giving off plus a little overflow in the substrate.  Arid species dont like humidity and may be trying to find another place that is more comfortable. Some spiders just like to explore, this maybe one of those.  Your enclosure however is for a arboreal spider. With the current running around of the spider and being possibly in premolt can cause your spider to fall and injure itself. When they are in premolt they are clumsy at climbing. You should look at getting another enclosure soon.Here's some good enclosures for terrestrial tarantulas. More floor space and less height.  Zoomed low profile enclosures.[ATTACH=full]67532[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
