Hi there
Few points for you in relation of your post to think abouts.
1.Humidity and moulting.
Humidity values are irrelevant in regards of moulting.Moulting is internal process solely dependent on the fluids inside tarantulas body not its environment. That's why often they can be observed drinking just before they moult.
2. Species information from vendors.
Many vendors are stating environmental guideline numbers in relation of where tarantulas originate.These numbers are not set in stone and they only reflect a very short period of time when readings are taken.They are more of an additional information rather than a care sheet.Do not mistake one for the other.
Micromanagement of small enclosure conditions located in a room while trying to mimic those of their natural habitat is more likely to go wrong rather than being a success.
3.When using hygrometer have in mind that the cheap gadget you have is probably totally inaccurate as most hobby grade gadgets are.
Regards Konstantin
