Hi, All - I decided to try an arboreal species. Hoping to acquire a C. Versicolor sling soon. How does this enclosure look? I made sure to add dry substrate and anchor points. Is there anything else I should do? Also, is there a good way to remove smudge from a hot glue gun that won't scratch the acrylic or leave a residue?

I think it’s looks pretty awesome! I just built one for a Versi a few weeks ago that’s very similar. Also, I got my Versi from @MobBurrow. He might have more.

Looks good, I don't permanently mount cork in my acrylic boxes anymore. It's a pain to clean if done that way.

Thank you! Ironically, I made a purchase from him and afterwards I found your thread—which helped me figure out my setup. I bet our slings are eggcase mates. Thank you for the inspiration! My little guy is happily webbing up a storm now. :D

Yes! Next time I will do that. Usually I'm better at hot-gluing things, but that tiny ledge in the corner was a pain. Luckily, most of it rubbed right off.

Cool! Making that Versi habitat inspired me to make a better one for my GBB. Got a fresh habitat en route. I’m planning it out on paper first, then gonna see what I can do.

And yeah, I bet our Versi’s are sling mates!

Part of what helped me decide to try one of these guys was redoing my GBB enclosure. It is so fun creating the habitats for these little colorful climbers. I look forward to when they are big enough for their adult enclosures. I'd love to try real plants.
