Hi there.
I recently acquired a young BB.
At night/dark it seems to spend its time on the enclosure floor (from my observations), yet during the day it seems to prefer the wall of the enclosure.
This obviously leads me to believe the substrate is not ideal (or the humidity).
I was wondering what substrates you have implemented successfully with this (or similar) type(s) of tarantulas.
I am currently using coconut coir (the shredded stuff), and it's fairly dry.
Do you think I may need to increase humidity?
I've had the T at most a week; could it just be getting used to new environment?
I have a GBB with shredded coconut husks (the chunks) for substrate, and it seems perfectly fine with it..
I was recommended to use neither of these, ideally. But that was not till very recently.
Anyway, your feedback will be appreciated.
Thanks!
