No,it's not.I keep the humidity IN MY T ROOM to strict parameters,and use fully vented cages instead of tupperware with holes drilled in it.This is just the type of thinking holding this hobby back here in the states.I will do things my way and at least attempt to further this hobby.If I don't get my red legged brachys to breed,then I'll be just like everyone else who's trying to breed them.If I do,maybe the hobby moves a little forward.In the meantime there's some very pampered and happy T's in my T room,so what's the harm in trying,seeing as not too many other people in this country are getting them to breed? Ignorance is not bliss.This seems like a lot of hearsay and conjecture. Germany has really relaxed laws and a good deal of smuggling. People are assuming they're not using smuggled WC adults. It's also a numbers game. More spiders to start = more spiders produced. Does anybody have any idea what percentage of slings in Europe end up living a full life cycle and reproducing? Wouldn't surprise me if it's similar to ours in the states.

The only way to accurately guage humitity is with a dry and wet bulb thermometer and math. Unless we're sticking probes down burrows we have little idea what that microclimate is like. They don't exactly experience the weather the way a non ground dwelling animal would
