Any Tips on how to keep the air flow steady and preventing bacteria growth in a tarantula cage? Are room humidifiers any good?

Thanks a lot :razz:

With some species is hard to achieve but...
allowing the 2 oposite sides of the tank to have ventilation is a good idea.

Also, removing the bolus right after feeding time is crucial to avoid mites and bacteria.
The rest, not much you can do :(

Keep the cage on the dry side if possible, but always provide a water dish.
