Nhandu tripepii care?

[Braulio Paz]

Hi!

I have a question regarding my N tripepii.

Yesterday I went to a well protected human free forest and brought some moss with me. It's the moss that's usually attached to the soil and it was growing well in the shades. I decided to put some in my T blondi's enclosure and also in my tripepii's. The thing is, I gave her two mealworms so she doesn't bother me while redecorating her enclosure, but after she finished eating them, she went to a corner and stayed there. She's trying to run from the substrate or idk what happened. Maybe that's due to a high humidity increase inside her enclosure? Do they really need to be humid? I mean, it's not nearly as humid as my blondi's enclosure, but...

Thanks in advance

I keep N. tripepii partly moist. I overflow the water dish bi-monthly to maintain a moist area. Don't be surprised to see that moss moved all over the place. Both my Nhandu's seem to move moss and leaves around to their liking.

Nhandu are pretty tolerant of dry conditions, I just overflow the water dishes and repeat when they dry out.

In nature they live in nearly perpetual dampness but they tolerate dryness is captivity, as slings they burrow a lot but as mine has grown older it has become my only spider to sit out in the open and not make a burrow.
