Well, I'm going to try doing the old world thing once again. I picked up a small Usambara today for 20 bucks. This guy, hopefully gal, is just absolutely gorgeous! I decided to see how gumptious it was and gave it a superworm. Well, it loves superworms! I was surprised, because I have never given a superworm this small of a spider.

Here's a pic:

Oh yeah, and how does bone dry peat and a water dish sound for a setup?

Hi.

That's A gorgeous T you have there, Mine is still a spiderling but growing fast. I keep mine a little more humid but thats because its a spiderling but I've heard they do prefere bone dry enviroment. a waterdish is good and thats about sufficient.
Well have a nice day

I have mine in a tank to wear the plastic is slick and thin and the spider cant climb so i have a hide in with her and she uses that i have a water dish and i keep it real dry in there

You can moisten the peat at first. We never kept them completely dry and always gave them waterdishes with great success. They are interesting spiders to say the least. We had one that liked to use pieces of sphagnum moss in her burrows. It was amazing to see what she would come up with.
