[QUOTE="Whitelightning777, post: 143065, member: 26980"] They are a dry spider. Since B hamorii is usually pretty docile, try just removing it and replace the substrate with dry substrate. Cocofiber works well for dry spiders. Only digital humidity gauges are accurate, but in this case you don't need anything like that. I'd place it in an area that is about 75 degrees. Mine is underneath the wireless router. Despite the snickering, she's doing great & is always visible with a good appetite. While this species is hardy, I'd try for mid 70s instead of high 60s or low 70s. Why? They are naturally slow growers so raising the metabolism probably won't hurt. Despite being a dry spider, I always provide a waterdish with water in it. They also photograph very well and the colors emerge true to life. Lots of getting videos are required!! Mine will eat roaches, crickets & mealworms, usually only one at a time. While they can be handled, this should be kept to a minimum. A catch cup, lid and paintbrush are your friends as are they with any other tarantula. [/QUOTE]
