I’ve seen so many red giant die after they grow up to 10 inch or bigger, some of them get fungus although the humidity is about 60%.I don’t think thats a naturaldeath because they can grow much bigger.

In captivity they should have a dry side to escape too , perhaps micosis..? That’s what I do with tarantulas.

I would reevaluate how to set up their enclosure, definitely have a dry side.
Take a look around, see how other Successful Keepers are doing theirs.
