These hiding places are readily accepted by the spider and are often additionally lined with webbing. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">Temperatures can vary between <\/span><span class=\"s1\">22 and 26 \u00b0C<\/span><span class=\"s2\">  lie. At the same time, the animals feel comfortable  <\/span><span class=\"s1\">moderate humidity of around 60-70 %<\/span><span class=\"s2\">  particularly well.
