Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tomoran" data-source="post: 55498" data-attributes="member: 1152">The best way to keep the humidity right with the A. versicolor is to not worry about the humidity at all. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /> Mine has gone through three winters where the humidity in my home gets down to the teens, and all she has is a water dish. Obviously, I don't know what you currently keep and what you'd be prepared for. Personally, I'd start with one of the "calmer" Poecilotheria species. They grow very fast, so if everything goes well, you could move to the Ornatas. They are absolutely gorgeous, but out of all the species of pokies I keep, those are the ones I'm most cautious with.</blockquote>
