[QUOTE="Jeef, post: 233893, member: 36825"] I kept a B. smithi in a setup just like that and it was fine. I'm impressed you didn't crack the plexiglass. I got so disgusted I had to go get a soldering iron. I always got the impression that ventilation was more about keeping mold and fungi in check. A. chalcodes is a desert species, so moisture is kind of out of that equation. I sometimes get white spots in the substrate when I overflow the water dish, but nothing to get excited about. When I do, I just let the substrate dry out. Some folks will even argue you don't need a water dish. Tarantulas are always weird for the first few days in their enclosures. They refuse to walk on the substrate, climb up to the corners ect... Eventually, they settle in and if mine is any indication, sit in one spot for days at a time. [/QUOTE]
