G.pulchra Q.

[jcornish86]

How damp or dry should the substrait be for G.pulchra?

 

[Salamanderhead]

I could be wrong but from what Im reading, Room temperature and a water dish are good. No misting or whatever. The water dish keeps the humidity enough.

Im sure someone can give you much better info then me. I dont even own the species.

We've got one, and we keep him pretty dry, he has a waterdish, but like Salamanderhead said, no misting or anything, we haven't had a problem.

For ALL slings under an inch, the substrate should be kept moderately damp.

K he/she is pushing about 2", I offerd him/her a water dish and he walked around it for about 30 min biting the edges of it and kicking it around.

 

[Salamanderhead]

He was actually attacking the water dish?

Both of my Grammostola Girls are kept dry with a waterdish. They are as happy as a pig in......crap.

PIG-

Me too. I've noticed that mine doesn't seem to detest the occasional moistening of a corner. She'll bask in the humidity for a bit but doesn't seem to hurt if it's bone dry either. I base such judgements on whether of not they start hanging out on top of the water dish when the cage is completely dry... and mine doesn't do that.

PIG-

I agree. same here

 

[Salamanderhead]

From my personal reading of caresheets on different species, it seems to me most terrestrial species do fine in normal room temperatures and with just a water dish and no misting.
I wont say ALL now because Im sure thats not true.

Mine is only a sling at the moment, so I'll lightly mist its house once a week.

Ive only had mine about month, but i keep it fairly dry, but not mone dry. When i do add a mist of water i will just dampen one side so that if it doesnt like it it can move away from it.
