Goliath bird eater molted and has not eaten for almost a month. Any good feed back on what to do?

Neoholothele, Cyriocosmus, Haplopus, etc. Live in fairly humid conditions and are small. I don't know how that'd work.
I'm not sure I understand the problem. Living in humid conditions is never a problem. Living in dry conditions is when the spiders need to close the opening to the book lungs to prevent water loss, thereby restricting ventilation.

No, no, for the last part.

Thank you for your input. I will post the pictures now.
I have been keeping the t.stirmi since 2009. Your picture of how your enclosure used to look made me shoot some of my blue moon out of my mouth as I laughed out loud. The thought of the t.stirmi utilizing that skinny stick is hilarious. It would be like us walking on a tight rope. I am not going to beat a dead horse as you have already been told how to correct your enclosure I just wanted to say thanks for the laugh. Hands down best worst t.stirmi enclosure I have seen thus far. No offense should be taken at my comment, we all make mistakes bro.

I think what @boina tries to say is that (in theory) it is possible for both larger and smaller tarantulas to live in humid conditions, while dry conditions only allow for smaller bodied tarantulas.

Thank you for the translation ;)
