Message: <blockquote data-quote="Will" data-source="post: 92482" data-attributes="member: 4182">Despite it being an arboreal T, I think the P Irminia will quite often make a ground level lair when young. I provided mine (now a 2" sling/juve) with two pieces of vertical cork bark next to each other which would have made a perfect hide for arboreal T's, but it has made a ground level horizontal tube web.With regards to moisture, all I do with my P Irminia (2" sling/juve) is provide a water dish and 'make it rain' every week or two. A lot of 'care sheets' (I hate these) suggest it needs a very humid environment, but captive humid environments in stagnant air are rarely healthy for any creature. As long as it has access to water all the time, it will be fine.Don't expect to see it very much though. They are very reclusive, but when you do see them (when hunting prey for example) they are very beautiful. Probably my favourite looking T.No experience with Aureotibialis sorry.</blockquote>
