I mentioned hydration right away because molt failure is usually if not often related to hydration. Raising humidity won't help directly. Making sure your Ts have access to clean water at all times does. Underfeeding vs overfeeding helps. Lower temps vs higher helps, too. (If you are comfortable in a t-shirt, chances are your tarantula will be comfortable too)These things don't need as much work and attention as tanks do. Keep it simple. Enjoy</blockquote>
