Now that is a good looking Tarantula. I may have to pick one of those up soon. They are a very attractive species. Are they a lower humidity higer temp species?

Have you had any problems with molting on this settup? I keep my t's on a substrate mix similar to yours, peat/vermiculite. I usually on initial setup(depending on species), pour warm water in before my substrate. Then my mix and let it soak up and top it off with some more dry mix. I have had alot of luck out of this method. From time to time on my more humidity dependant T's I just pour a couple of cups of warm water into the substrate. I also mist lightly and keep a water dish in some. They all seem healthy and content.
