[Kikka Harris]

Hi! first, sorry for bad english!!!! i have bought a baby grammostola rosea! :razz: she's only 2 cm.. did u can say me how old is she?

I have read in a lot of articles in internet the right umidity. In some articles is 60 - 75°, in others 70 - 85°, in others 60 - 65°. I'm confuse. Did u can say me the optimal condition for umidity??? and.. if the umidity is too HIGH, how can i do for make it more low? thank u very much, is very important please!

Kikka,

Read this sticky for care tips: http://www.arachnoboards.com/ab/showthread.php?t=5292

Basically, G.rosea do well with just normal humidity, like what your house is. Keep a full waterbowl in the enclosure (at this size, use a plastic cap from a soda or juice bottle) and this will give the T all its needed humidity.

As for the age, about 2 cm--anywhere from 3 to 6 months would be my guess. The more knowledgeable members will correct me if I'm wrong.

Good luck!!!

Could be up to a couple years old.

I would say it could be a couple years old, not months.

you can lower humidity by INCREASING ventilation. not too sure on exact care of a rosie aside from normal room temp ( around 60 to 70 farenheit) but for humidity all ya need to do is a waterdish ( should be fine) they like it on the drier side
