So about a week ago, I picked up my first Tarantula from my local trustworthy pet shop. A healthy Grammostola rosea . Now, I used plantation soil from a brick, which is just coconut husk fibres. I used water to churn it up in a bucket, and set up my enclosure with it. Since I didn't plan on getting the T until a few days later, I just figured it would dry out. When the day came, the top layer was dried out, so I figured there would be no harm in it. It has been a week since then, and she is showing typical signs of "New terrarium syndrome" with the typical wall hugging and climbing. But I have caught her standing with all 8 legs on the substrate. Now I have read that the smallest amount of excess moisture can piss off a G. Rosea, and as the substrate is still a little damp deep down, could this be a bad thing?
