They search a species and look at the climate and then go ok.... average temperature there is 28c and the humidity is 78%. Dont counter in that there is a breeze so the humidity isn’t stagnent. And also the t burrows or hides in a cooler darker place with lower humidity. I had the space and not too many slings so I always kept slings in containers big enough to use some sort of water dish. Pill buttons , Lego bricks anything that can hold water has probably been used by someone at some point. For vials a syringe so the water is more directed . Spraying/misting does evaporate very quickly aswell so isn’t always the best. Yeah 100’s in some cases 1000’s <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /> Tarantulas can go a long time without eating so forgetting one for a week isn’t an issue really. But people accumulate their collections so each time it’s just an addition to a routine they already have. On a larger collection I’m assuming it’s spread out across a few days so feed by location in the room or shelfAll credit goes to the long term members here and the moderators. They do a very good job at keeping the community inviting and helpful</blockquote>
