She doesn't "like" anything, she's a spider. Her instincts tell her she needs a secure home/burrow, food, and water. That's about it. Keep it if you want but it's a hazard and reduces her usable space.

Personally I'd get rid of the big rock to give the T more usable floor space. It's also a hazard if the T climbs and falls on it.
See if you can fit in a deeper water dish so it doesn't dry out quickly. They're not aesthetic but small deli cups work well.
Otherwise I think it's as good as it's...
Take some pictures that show the entire enclosure, not just a close up.
Looks like it's a bit too moist. The top should be dry with the bottom layers of substrate holding moisture. This is a difficult balance to achieve when the substrate isn't deep enough, and yours does look too shallow...
Ditto on pictures helping.
IMO you went overboard with your response to the moldy wood. The few times I've gotten mold I just removed the troublesome decoration and any substrate it spread to. Completely removing everything again just stressed her out even more. A small amount of mold isn't...
I bought the "Tokina atx-i 100mm f/2.8 FF Macro Lens" last year and am satisfied. I think it came down to either the Tamron you listed or this one, but I can't quite remember, nor why I chose this one over that one if so. It was $400 new but I'm sure you can find one used. There's two...
Thanks! I didn't look through the forum much before I did - I thought more people did it. I'd be great to have more people posting photos in "Through the Lens". I'm too casual to deal with any pretentious forums specifically meant for photography, lol.
It's fine. I've had even tiny slings (< 1/4") hide for months at a time. They know what they're doing. Whether it's molting or just doesn't want to hang out with you, it'll come out when it's ready.
Also, learn to use the search feature - it is your best friend on this website:
Age does not matter and is impossible to determine. Their growth is dependent on how often they eat, and arguably/possibly temperature.
3 or 4 inches? It looks smaller than that in the photo, but since there isn't anything for size reference it's hard to tell. Doesn't really matter for your...
Can't edit my last post because I lost my active status (darn life preventing me from wasting time on the internet), but I wanted to agree with @Smotzer.
I do have a few dishes that are always dry by the time maintenance day comes around. This only happens with my heavy webbers, or if a chunk...
BIgger dishes, Prioritize cross ventilation over top vents. It's been almost 100 outside lately where I live and I'm still good with once/week. No AC, it's probably 85 or so in the spider room.
Feed them well too, they get a good amount of moisture from food
"I had no idea" or "I didn't know" or "the seller lied" are not suitable excuses. Can't change the past but in the future you seriously need to research properly before you buy.
Good luck, please don't end up on the 6 o'clock news.
Whenever it's handy, usually after they toss it in the water bowl. Not a problem to leave it in though, a couple of mine always molt where I can't reach it.
