Is my tarantula enclosure ok?

[Lentsy]

just got my first ever tarantula, a b hamorii and his/her name is stick , i really want to make sure that i’m doing everything right so here’s a pic of the enclosure, please give me any tips. Need all the help i can get. I’m worried the substrate is too wet And i think i need to get more ventilation (the white is just scratches on plastic)

I’m not familiar with the humidity for b hamorii but besides that looks fine

It supposed to be on the dryer side but it’s small so i’m not sure

I usually keep the bottom layer of substrate moist and the top dry, with a water dish. They can burrow to find their desired humidity

Should I just leave it to dry out?, cause it’s all a bit moist

 

[Arachnoenthusiast]

That should be fine

Yes it is too wet.
Juvinelles, which is what yours is can be kept on dry substrate, if you want you can dampen a corner every once in a while,
Other than that it looks fine

It should be fine to just dry out as long as it isn't stuffy if you have ample ventilation it will be okay

When it comes to hides, make sure the bottom is open. This will allow them to dig down and have exits out the front and back.

Oh what do you mean by the bottom being “open”? the hide is from an old deodorant and the underside is under the substrate

Like you cut in halves, then your spider can dig if it wants to.

Oh ok, i’ll see how I can do that

Add more ventilation and let the sub dry out.

Hides shouldn't be dead ends, the best thing to do is partially bury a piece of cork bark and make an opening just bigger than the spider underneath, this will serve as the starting point of a burrow.

New suit for Quake but this is about as much as you'll get to see of it.

Stick is currently on the hide so i’ll fix it later cause I don’t really want to disturb herhim

This my new enclosure to my Hamorii sling about 1 inch i think, I know maybe to big but then I don´t need to rehouse so often i hope.

Looks like the holes are too large if so, your T might leave.

Chasing humidity numbers is not necessary, I've raised them dry with a water dish.
