[QUOTE="Arachnoclown, post: 168179, member: 27444"] Those humidity numbers are from the region their ancestors originated from. The humidity levels a few meters in the tree tops are totally different. When people try to match humidity from care sheets they often kill the spiders. The spiders need lots of ventilation to survive. If you run lots of humidity in a enclosure inside your home with no breeze you get stagnant air. To counter this you must add airflow...spiders dont like airflow. It's best to aid on the easiest, safest, fool proof way to raise them and yield on the drier side. I've had 100s of people ask why their spiders died when the humidity was perfect...in all reality they killed their spiders. Now...you can probably keep them on moist substrate but you have to be honed in on your ventilation. This wouldnt be something a novice keeper should attempt or be told to do. Keep it simple for the average keeper. [/QUOTE]
