Message: <blockquote data-quote="ipreventdeath" data-source="post: 11575" data-attributes="member: 462">True, they are found there, but most adult Ts can be kept in a desert or semi-desert environment as found by many T keepers. Ventilation is important to prevent mold build up, but without excessive moisture, mold build up isn't as much of an issue. It's all about balancing the proper amount of moisture with the proper amount of ventilation. And as a caveat, this is what is recommended for sub-adult to adult Ts, not spiderlings, by Stan Schultz and others.As it is now, my avics enclosure is kept fairly dry and she/he is just about 2.25in (6cm?). The substrate is never wet and rarely damp. During a molt is the only time I would try to bump up the humidity a bit for the prevention of as much moisture moisture loss as possible during the event. Other than that, misting will be infrequently done.</blockquote>
