[QUOTE="Chubbs, post: 55726, member: 1084"] Whenever I see someone mention humidity percentage, it automatically raises red flags in my head. Humidity percentage is not something to be concerned with when keeping tarantulas. Even for species that require more humidity/moisture, simply using a larger water dish, and wetting the substrate every so often will do the trick. Brachypelma smithi needs dry substrate and does not make any special demands for humidity and moisture. So no misting or moistening of the substrate for them. The same goes for most Brachypelma species. As for not eating, well for all we know, it could be in premolt or just not hungry. A picture of the tarantula may help. [/QUOTE]
