need some help...
I have a baby A.Versicolor tarantula, about 2/3-3/4 inch leg span...and I've had a couple of difficulties with housing it, and there aren't really any good sites regarding the housing of spiderlings...I first kept it in the vial in which it was shipped to me, but it seems a tad small, being only an inch in diameter...so I moved the spiderling to a small mason jar with bed-a-beast in the bottom and some pieces of bark leaned against the side...this worked well, apart from having to put a bit of work into getting the crickets within range of the T, until yesterday when I noticed mold growing on many areas of the bark...so I moved it back to it's vial...
So, I really have 2 questions here: 1- is the vial okay to keep the T in for now? 2- how do I keep the humidity at a sufficient level, without having a mold problem? This is particularly difficult in a small vial or jar, as there isn't much to do in the way of ventilation...
As I understand it, versicolors required 70-80% humidity, is that correct?
I'd appreciate any advice on the matter, thanks
