Hey all,
I have a couple of questions for you.
1. I have just read "The tarantula keepers guide" and they say to keep the substrate for all tarantulas dry (apart from "swamp dwellers" and even then not too wet). I'm a little confused. I know some species require dry sub. But I thought many required humid conditions. Such as misting weekly and damping part of the enclosure. I have a Brazilian Black spiderling who I'm keeping fairly humid and who has locked himself away in his burrow (presumably to moult?) and he/she seems to be doing well. However I am also getting a GBB and a Chaco golden knee (both spiderlings). I know spiderlings require more humid conditions but what about when they age? The book has confused me as everything else I read says 70-80% humid etc.
2. I have read many good things about isopods. How big should the T's be for me to begin using them and will the T's not eat them? I keep reading conflicting things.
Hope you guys can help, you all seem very knowledgeable
xx
