hey girl this site hase lots of good info but they kindof left me hanging latley so you never know.http://www.the-t-store.co.uk/forum/index.php?My rose hair stayed on dry eco earth stuff.She was in a 7 or so gallon critter carier.About 3 inchs of substrate,one tipped over fake cactus,small water bowl and a couple rocks about her size.I fed her crix and mealworms every week to 2 weeks depending how much she ate before.I dont think they get used to a regular scedual so dont tip on that.I did not always keep the water full.Her cage stayed on the dry side and i misted the entire cage and filled water about once a week to 2 weeks.Im just saying it worked great for me because she was the healthiest looking t i had.JUst ondering your day and nite temps in your room.

No slight at you Jessica, this is just a general rant.
1. The Chilean Rose hair Tarantula is a scrub land / desert species... They like it dry. The humidity off a water bowl is MORE then fine.
2. This is a huge misconception. 9/10 people have no idea what the **** they are doing with Rose hairs, see statement #1 where somebody suggested 65% humidity....
3. The day you got her, you have been disturbing her every time you misted her tank. They desert they are found in is kinda tough, and really dry.
You have no idea how many people think all these Tarantulas require a lot of humidity... Some like more then others, but a little research is important. There's these huge, senseless debates about Tarantulas, what % humidity do they need ?!?! OMG WHAT TEMP DO THEY NEED !?!? ZOMG!!! Just relax, in the end... It's a bug, a hardy bug. You have to go out of your way to kill most species of Tarantula, the best approach is very simple, and easy.
Look up the Tarantula, find out where it's found, think of the conditions in that region... Thats it. Some T's I spray once a week, some I don't spray.
