OK, never spray the spider, they do not like it. And do not lift it's home to check on it daily either. I use a small LED flashlight to take a quick look without disturbing it much. I do not worry much about temps or humidity. Lightly spray a corner of their cages once a week for babies and juvies; the adults just have their water dish and no spraying. Problem with tall enclosure is that if frog climbs and falls on something hard it could hurt itself. For that reason, keep mine in the breeder boxes or smaller plastic boxes I drill holes into. A plastic plant is fine .

hm.... if i spray lightly just the corner humidity will stay very low, we have very low air humidity, we're lucky when it is 30, to get it to 70-80 i gotta use some heavy guns and cover almost completely top screen. what should i do, keep humidity low and have a water dish? i can spray i guess the way water is not reaching a spider.

i love this

. lol you meant tarantula aren't you? if so... really? how do you know they hurt? do you think 12" tall is too tall? the spider is about 4.5" leg span right now.

Yep, thinking about frogs in here . Terrestrial tarantula adults can break open their abdomens with a large fall (couple feet as in from someones hands) and it's usually fatal. Not sure what is the limit in height or if there is a factual size/height relationship .

I start offering water in bottle caps at around 2 in. legs span. Can spray more, but again, humidity is not critical like in frogs. Could try covering some of top screening to increase humidity like we do with frogs.

thank you guys!!!!!! that is different from frogs i mean.

KK - i have quite a few laying around in close to all sizes, but ultimately it is my daughters pet, so eventually she is gonna be the one taking care of, feeding, etc, KK is not that easy to open and then close completely, that is why i don't really use it for anything other then bath tubs for my frogs. so what exactly is wrong with exo cube? digging dirt out - why that is a problem?- unless it decided to dig close to the doors, but if not to put anything by the doors that a spider would want to dig under it shouldn't be a problem?
height - I don't want to disturb him now, but if it is about 4.5 leg span, it should be about 6" diagonally i think + recommended 1.5" =7.5, the ground is not really hard if it eco earth with soil, and the guy is growing, so height wise i'm thinking is ok.

humidity- i guess frog care requirements are too much in my head to just take it as you say, too used to keeping at 70-80 for frogs, a bit less or unstable for longer time and a fogger is coming home and gets stuck to a tank. lol
sorry i just need to hear it from you again in 20-30 humidity keeping tarantula on a dry substrate ( it will be really fast) but having water dish at all the time is ok. please say yes or not and if i'm in panic mode i can spray substrate, but it is not necessary.

another q - care sheets, if they're off - is there's one that works? i know there're tons of bs care sheets on a net for frogs that's for sure, same for tarantulas i guess.

P.S. an why do i think my qs to you might seem like some of the qs we get in pac section lol sorry.
