Hello there!
I’m new to the hobby and have recently acquired 9 (originally 10 but one died the day after they arrived) Phidippus Regius slings. I also found one Eresus Walkenaeri sling and immediately scooped that up too.
I had prepared these little 2” x 2” enclosures ahead of time, but now I’m worried they are too ventilated or large for my slings. They have 3 large holes with mesh over it and 6 tiny holes on 2 sides and on top. I’ve had the regals in them for 2 weeks and all of them have eaten, some have webbed. I moved my Eresus this morning into a smaller vile with less ventilation as the breeder suggested.
Are these little cubes over ventilated or too large for my slings?
Should I just add more moss to them?
Should I move them all to little vials with less ventilation?
Is this WAY too much light for these slings?
Or am I just overthinking things and they’re fine in heavily ventilated enclosures?
haha paranoid sling keeper here Thanks for your help in advance!
Also… I’ve been trying to add very tiny droplets of water but they dry out within minutes. Now I’m thinking I’ll just switch back to adding a slightly moist paper towel in the corner and keep the little guys in these cubes.
