First and foremost, apologies if there is a thread like this that has already been posted. I looked through some searches on moist/wet substrate and some A. seemanni threads, but I couldn't find quite what I was looking for.
For tarantulas, what are the best ways to keep substrates moist? What are the best substrates for a moist enclosure? I use a large kritter keeper for my A. seemanni,which is a great size for her but it means she get a lot of ventilation.The coco fiber that I use dries out super quick, to the point where re-wetting it with a trickle of water means I risk flooding her burrow, but just spraying it doesn't wet it enough. I can only wet the surface but every layer is a bit too dry.
I know I've read info about this topic before, but I'm refreshing my research after a stagnant period where I've had to focus on other things. I've cared for my Ts continuously but I'm turning my gaze back to them as much as I can to make sure they're in tip-top shape- and the moist enclosure thing has been a big issue for me for a while. So, how can I alter her substrate/setup to help it stay moist? I've seen people use organic top soil and sphagnum moss. Would that be a good idea? Any suggestions would be helpful. Thank you.
