[QUOTE="octanejunkie, post: 173519, member: 3872"] Good point. I should have said excess humidity is just as bad a bone dry environment; and both have been found to be detrimental to avics. If you have an amazing cross breeze you can probably have wet substrate as the airflow will "drain off" excess humidity. If you have cross ventilation and no breeze it's as good as a static environment and too much humidity will be too much humidity, same as no cross ventilation. On the converse, too dry is too dry. The key, and it's not that difficult, is finding the balance. These spiders are true arboreals, meaning they never live on the ground like non-avic arboreals do. They live in tropical climates, islands in the ocean, so there is plenty of humidity, and wind/air flow. [/QUOTE]
