I lightly spray water on the top the area and then add the rest of the substrate while putting in the hide and any decorations. I like cork bark as it is light and natural and looks good. Keep a water dish in the enclosure for drinking. And sometimes they use it as a trash dump or bury it in substrate just to show you who's boss.G. pulchra are native to relatively dry grasslands but some recommend higher humidity and temperatures. Dave's Little Beasties just did a rehousing of the Brazilian Black Tarantula and suggested that. I tend tend to be on the dryer side, so ultimately it may be a personal preference. I may try moister.</blockquote>
