Cloth or screen but I use mainly cloth.What kind of special lids are you referring to?
Got any pics of this? I only added screen a few times but it dryed enclosure out too easy. I guess it could work well for dryer species like H mac.Cloth or screen but I use mainly cloth.

Pics of both, I used screen before Had mixed results.Screen or cloth or both?
I don't keep my maculata as dry as Avics. They're from West African rainforests and like a little moisture.it could work well for dryer species like H mac.
Well good thing I been keeping H mac on the wetter side, I just thought they could tolerate dryness. Guess now What about pokies? do they need lots of moisture? Mine seem to do good dryer with full waterdish or two.For me, screen has too much airflow, there's not much microclimate. Side cross ventilation is better. Spiders can chew thru cheesecloth, so unless you have slings in there, you're taking a gamble.

I give my Poecs slightly moist substrate, certainly not soggy, but not bone dry either. All my spiders, arboreals included, get water bowls, which helps with humidity. Avics are the oddball arboreals, and require drier substrate and more airflow than the others.Well good thing I been keeping H mac on the wetter side, I just thought they could tolerate dryness.

Yes, I don;t buy many Avics I can care for them but I prefer pokies, Psalmous to Avics. I do have A Avic SP pet-store it is thriving, No idea what species. I bet A avic or A metallica.I give my Poecs slightly moist substrate, certainly not soggy, but not bone dry either. All my spiders, arboreals included, get water bowls, which helps with humidity.

Throw us a pic of that Avic, maybe someone can help ID it.Yes, I don;t buy many Avics I can care for them but I prefer pokies, Psalmous to Avics. I do have A Avic SP pet-store it is thriving, No idea what species. I bet A avic or A metallica.
Pokies love woodbark also I got many that will squeeze into it too feel secure , safe.
I had the same problem. I spent all kinds of time, money, energy, and resources cutting a large hole in the lids of deli cups and hot glueing aluminum, mesh screen in its place. I even used organic topsoil and the sub would dry out almost immediately. And I live in a fairly humid area.Got any pics of this? I only added screen a few times but it dryed enclosure out too easy.
