Theraphosa Stirmi Enclosure

[IMAGINE1391]

This is my Stirmis enclosure. It is 10 gallons, has a large water dish, and I have frog moss and spaghum moss all around the water dish for when I overfill it. I don’t know if it will help but I also put some hydro pepples at the bottom of the substrate and put water in with them. Will this enclosure be sufficient for this Stirmi?

You want the substrate to stay moist with Theraphosa...not soaking wet. Because you lack cross ventilation you may want to introduce some springtails to help fight mold issues you are going to have. Also some isopods wouldn't hurt. It should work fine though. Good looking setup!

Where can I get springtails and isopods? And how many would you put in?

Springtails is the most undistributed piece of advice for stirmi enclosures. A staple in all mine. Keep the sub wet, half wont do
