Very similar Tarantulas, but Stirmi are actually much hardier.You don't need 90% humidity. 70-80%% is fine. The substrate shouldn't be wet just damp. You do need a lot more substrate.I only leave about 5" between the top of the enclosure and the top of the substrate. Stirmi are very active Tarantulas at night and due to their size a fall can easily kill them. even one of just 10" onto peat moss. Don't worry about it not eating.Get rid of the half log, and put half a plastic flower pot in there. Buryi it almost completely leaving an opening just large enough for your Tarantula. The important thing with a tarantula hide is darkness. If it can't get into a dark place, then there's no point in the hide.If you have any further questions don't hesitate to ask. I have quite a few Stirmi that I've raised from 1" slings to 10" monsters.</blockquote>
