Hi everyone! I've read up a bit and am posting to make sure everything is going in the right direction. She is about 3.5cm in size (body). I'm feeding her small live crickets. One every week. I put her in a Exo Terra PT2600 30x30x30cm terrarium with 2 bags of this substrate (10 liters) plus a plastic plant, a piece of cork, an Exo Terra skull and a shallow water dish. Temps in the room are 24C, humidity is at 37%. She has a Exo Terra 4W (smallest) warming pad underneath the enclosure which is plugged in. It's about 25C in the enclosure, humidity is at about 80% which is purely from the humidity of the substrate. She likes the skull and has burrowed underneath. I haven't seen her since. I make sure she has water gel in the dish.
Questions so far:
Questions so far:
- Is the setup right?
- I heard misting isn't necessary, should I do it when the substrate has dried out or no? Do I need to mist or just let a little distilled water flow down the side?
- Should I always feed her live food or is there an alternative to live crickets?
- Dude from the store wanted to sell me a vitamin mix for the crickets, is that necessary?
- Can she drink tap water or should I stick with the gel?
- I heard the mesh top of the terrarium can hurt the spider, does it need to be replaced with a vented acrylic top cover down the line?
