Good to know!! Thank you all so much!
Good to know!! Thank you all so much!
Happy to help! If you have any more questions, ask away!Thank you so much! Definitely something I will do tomorrow when I clean her out!!
I am in La! But i am currently in a garage with no insulation So my living space gets quite cold lol.I glanced at your location. Still living in LA? Because that's where I am too. So just as a reference, I never have any temp issues at any time of year here
But that is very reassuring to hear. I recently got a lasiodora parahybana sling and im worried about the little guy but hearing that definitely helps a bit!I glanced at your location.

By any chance do you know of any good places around LA to purchase slings? I've bought both of mine online but would love to have an actual store to go too.I glanced at your location.

Give them a shout. Great people from my experience!
Also keep an eye out for expos. Repticon is a great place to get some tarantulas! Slings, Juvies, Adults of all types
Thank you! She had an ant situation two molts ago and her rump never fully recovered but I'll keep my fingers crossed for the next molt!its important to note that theres no such thing as a permenant bald spot....next molt the rump will be replenished of its urticating hairs.....and yeah, never ever mist your gbb.
Quoted for emphasis. And to add "or any other tarantula". Misting is pointless. It only raises the humidity for about two minutes before the water drops settle. And then its not even enough water on the sub to effect it either way. Plus it just annoys them. Ya know how cats feel about being sprayed with water? Yeah, imagine that with venom.never ever mist your gbb.

Best way to do it is to just pour the water directly onto the substrate (Edit: depending on species. Some might just need a water dish.). Without dumping it on the T of course. But its all good! You're here now, and willing to learn, and that puts you about 4000 miles ahead of some people.Really wish I went on this page ages ago. My poor c. Cyaneopubescens
Very good to know though I'll be sure to not mist my L. Parahybana
Misting will up humidity if you spray enough on the substrate, water is water bro... Your right though, it does annoy them if sprayed. It's also less time consuming and less of a hand cramp to pour instead of misting.Quoted for emphasis. And to add "or any other tarantula". Misting is pointless.

The room with my tarantulas can dip into the 60s, and my GBB seems fine.My room has been hovering around 60 degrees at night and can't figure out a safer way. Any suggestions would help tremendously.

I was going based on the notion that most people who mist, unless they know better, often just give a couple of little spurts, but youre right.Misting will up humidity if you spray enough on the substrate, water is water bro...

When I mist I usually sprayed the substrate and webbing specifically, but with this new knowledge I am most likely going to stop misting and focus on keeping her water dish full.I was going based on the notion that most people who mist, unless they know better, often just give a couple of little spurts, but youre right.
For some Ts, I spray the sides of their enclosures with a spray bottle every few weeks as they always come out and hoover up the water droplets (I also keep water dishes with all of my Ts). My P. metallica seems to enjoy it particularly. I do agree that it's not ideal for boosting humidity though.Quoted for emphasis. And to add "or any other tarantula". Misting is pointless.
