Humidity for a Mexican Red Knee (B. Smithy)

[Efren Paredes]

Hi guys so I am new to owning a tarantula and to this site and one of the things I hear that I need to do is make sure the cage is a little humid. When I went to the pet store and asked about it for my B. Smiths they said that I should not make it humid due to the fact that he is a dessert type and he won't be happy if it has humidity. So I am asking for help on some professional owners or just people with experience. Thanks

Provide a water dish. That's all the humidity it will ever need.

Yes I have a water dish in there for him to drink fresh water. Thank you very much I really appreciate it.

Actually, I may have been too quick to respond. How large is your spider?
