[Aykut Altuntop]

Hey guys. I bought a sling cambridgei and i am a beginner in this hobby. I know the simple things about tree tarantulas like terrarium has to be little bit high. And i know humidity has to be little bit high. But still i am not sure if i can do that. Can you give me some advices and tell me how can i if he or she is happy ?

Psalmopoeus cambridgei are relatively easy to keep. Humidity is not very important as long as you keep a full water bowl in the enclosure.

If there is room for a water bowl then yes, a T will not drown. If there is no room in the container then you can dribble a few drops of water down the side every 2-3 days

Now he is in a small conteiner. But when he or she becomes a l6 sling im gonna put it in a 15*10*10cm terrarium. Then i put a water bowl. Thanks buddy

I'm a cambridgei junkie....I've got 14. I keep them on dry substrate with a water dish. If you dont have room for a water dish wet moss is the way to go.

Wow dude how can you look that much Tarantula. I just have one and i am worrying about it all the time. I am praying like " Oh please, don't die " And i have a question too. İt's terrarium is little bit near of the heater. And it's about 25-26°C degrees. But at the terrariums surface there are water drops. And i think it's because of heater. İs this harmful for T

Your substrate is wet...add some more ventilation holes and let it dry out. Use a plastic water bottle cap for a dish for water and you will be good. You can see in my photo I have lots of cross ventilation holes. I have lots in the lid but you cant see it.

Okay i m gonna add more vantilation holes. And i have one more question. Today ı came home and ı saw him or her making web on pipes. İt is a good thing but after she did that she is making a little tunnel and going under the substrate is it normal or should i do something about that

All perfectly normal. It's an arboreal T that will eventually live up in the branches but most slings will burrow to begin with.

There's no harm in trying but remove the food after 24 hours if it hasn't eaten.
