I would rather go off abdomen size and feed when needed. Tarantulas in the wild don't eat every Thursday and Friday <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /> And there is no need to chase certain humidity numbers, as humidity doesn't matter as much as the amount of water they drink, as they use their internal fluids to separate themselves from their old exo. No need to mist as well, as the pressurized water and air can annoy them. You can keep the sub dry and overflow the water dish once in a while. If you give it more time, it will start making its web hammock soon enough, this hobby is about patience. Enjoy your t! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
