    How dry are you letting it get between watering?

      Okay, so I don't think it would be a watering issue. I agree that it is most likely a humidity problem. You should set a temp and RH monitor next to it to see what the RH is at, then adding a humidifier or pebble tray might work. It's tough in the winter months to keep humidity up.

    I’ve always had a hard time with those. I keep all my carnivores under humidity domes, but once they get so big, they don’t fit. I’m still learning but in my experience, they need to basically stay wet and humid most of the time. I’d try a pebble tray instead of hanging it personally, with it being that big. But I could be wrong on the species as well. That’s how I’ve got mine set up. Hopefully it’s something useful!

      How do these guys get insects to eat when they are under these domes? Do you feed them?

    Maybe also add a layer of sphagnum moss to the top of the substrate. If your indoor humidity is >50% then I've seen them grown fine in ambient. Make sure you are using distilled water for them as well. Using tap water could cause this too.

      Yeah all add a layer of sphagnum moss and I give them rain water

      Depending on where you live, your rainwater could be too acidic and have trace things in it. I would switch to distilled and see if that helps.
