oh have also put moss in there that does not help either.

Try a "fogger" The second item is a bit more costly but if you plan on keeping blondi's for years to come it would be worthwhile

Deep substrate so the tarantula can burrow is most important. These spiders are burrowers. Your t should be fine so long as you keep the temps around 80 -85 , somewhat lower temps during night. Just overflow the water dish so that there is a moist area around the dish and the bird eater should be fine. Cocoa fiber is a great substrate. Bird eaters are high maintenance t's imo. And they kick hairs.
