📋 At a glance

🏠 Enclosure

• Use the enclosure dimensions, heating, humidity, and safety values from the structured care profile and full care guide.

🪨 Enclosure furniture

• 5 cm of substrate to buffer humidity and cushion the enclosure floor
• Tall cork tube or bark slab forming a protected upper retreat
• Stable branches, foliage, and web anchors creating private vertical routes
• Shallow water dish reachable without destroying the web tube; avoid loose doors, cable gaps, claw-catching mesh, and shifting heavy decor

💡 Lighting

• No UVB or dedicated basking lamp required
• Photoperiod: 10-12 h of gentle ambient room light; no night light
• Gentle display light is acceptable only if it does not heat the upper retreat or dry the enclosure too quickly

🌡️ Temperature

• Basking spot: 24-27 °C
• Warm zone: 22-27 °C
• Cool zone: 20-23 °C
• Night: 20-23 °C

💧 Humidity & water

• Humidity: 65-80% with constant cross-ventilation
• Fresh shallow water dish always available; misting alone is not reliable hydration
• Lightly moisten part of the substrate, then let surfaces and webbing dry
• Wet webbing, persistent condensation, and sour substrate mean the enclosure is too closed or too wet

🪳 Feeding

• Feed according to the prey type and schedule in the structured care profile; remove uneaten prey promptly.

🩺 Health — warning signs

• Watch for appetite loss, abnormal posture, injury, breathing issues, failed shedding or molting, and sustained weight loss.
