Hello everyone! I`m new to this forum. From Sweden and I have been keeping t`s for about 6-7 years total now. Got about 50 species at the moment and growing.
I just wanted to hear with you "experts" how many of you keep tropical spiders dry with maybe only water dish? I have been keeping all my t`s , except desert spiders pretty moist always but I always get mold, fungus and sometimes even mites from food rests lying in moisture etc.. Now when the collection is getting bigger its hard to watch every enclouser every day just to see if there is mold or other problems. I am now going to dry everything out (juveniles and up), get more ventilation and see how they react to this. I talked to a big german dealer who had success and never problems with keeping all kind of t`s bone dry, and he doesn`t even use a water dishes! But I feel if the subsrate is dry atleast they should have access to fresh water , especially nearing a molt..
I`s humidity overrated and does it matter less when it`s CB spiders compared to WC? Does the rules change again when trying to breed and get sacs?
Thanks for answers!
