Then remove the moss and add a dry layer of peat over the wet stuff, it will soon even out the moisture. If possible, replace the moss with dry stuff too.Hopefully you can keep the spider at one end while you work in the other otherwise you'll have to catch her but just adding a dry layer will much quicker than replacing the whole lot.</blockquote>
