I'm not meaning to give the impression that this is a difficult genus to care for, because all things considered they are still rather tough spiders, it's just that as opposed to Avicularia, Ephebopus really do tend to thrive more when kept with more moisture and humidity. The enclosure definitely should still have periods in between where it can dry out, and of course we should never sacrifice ventilation for extra moisture. That's where the water dish comes into play, not only does it obviously provide the spider with something from which to drink, it will also keep the humidity up enough during these periods while the substrate is allowed to dry up a bit. You want it to be moist, but not stuffy.</p></blockquote><p></p>
