Getting the plastic sheets that cover the screen into position and figuring out the sizes took a few hours.The problem is that evaporation lowers temperature but you can't let a temperature spike happen if it gets too dry.In any event, problem solved and the tarantula seems to be ok but I haven't seen him eat yet. I also haven't seen any of the feeders either.  I'm thinking maybe very early premolt but who knows. If he starts to get skinny I'm sure he'll eat at that point.</blockquote>
