They are quite skittish. Never bought the rock hide before, I would stick to the cork bark. Don't worry about humidity and misting (humidity especially). Tarantulas are almost too simple to raise considering you don't need all those fancy gauges. Adding moisture is as simple as pouring water on the substrate and just keeping a full water dish or for slings a few drops with an eye dropper will suffice.In the case of species like C. cyaneopeubescens, G. porteri and G. pulchripes all you would need to do is keep the water dish full as they like things dry (though as slings, GBBs appreciate a few drops on the substrate).Other species I recommend are:B. albopilosum, B. emilia, A. hentzi, H. chilensis (enclosure size would be way too big, but this is the best species around in my opinion).All are very easy to care for. B. albopilosum do like a bit more moisture than the others, but that can be accomplished by overflowing the water dish. If you can find a Nicaraguan B. albopilosum, even better (They just seem to look more stunning especially in person).Coco fiber is a good substrate that many of us use. That is the only substrate I use for my collection of 35. No moss or anything, just straight coconut fiber.</blockquote>
