What do you think about humidity, does it matters?
This thread is about arguing (like adult people) about different perspectives of the same thing, the humidity in our tarantula enclosures. Everyday living conditions, breeding etc.
Overall does it matter?
So don't be hesitant posting your opinions.
I'll start with my personal opinion.
Imho the humidity in the enclosures can be benefical, in the right amount, and everytime followed by a good pasive or forced ventilation. You can mimic their real habitats conditions, so they can stay in the same conditions where they evolved.
I'm also have the thoughts that the humidity plays some role in a proper molting and breeding process in certain especies. For example not allowing to the mold drying prematurely before the tarantula completes the molting process. A drier enviroment could dry that mold difficulting the molting process, making the molt less flexible and harder to pull/push for the T. You can take an old dry exuvia and try to move the legs, then mist it a little bit, what happens?
