Hi guys. Greetings from Russia. I am new at the hobby. I've keeping T's about half a year. I have some questions about caribena slings. I bought one myself recently. Also I already have a bad experience with this guys. My first caribena sling is dead now and it makes me more nerveous than I was before.
There is a thing, that russian care sheets are different from yours. We use the old strategy for rise those little spiders. We use wet coconut fiber (we mix it with vermiculite here) and keep humidity at high level.
After I read a thread about avicularia care I understand that this information from our russian forums is wrong. Also I think that this could be the reason for my caribena's death.
I don't want to make the same mistake again. I want to my T's be healthy and kind of happy.
My sling is very tiny now. It has made its web already. Those pink thingies is plastic sticks. Also I've make a door in its enclosure. I've done it to disturb it less. I have it about a week. The sling refuse to take a food, but its abdomen is quite small for molt. I was give a cricket and a fly for it.
So, what do you can say about it? I think I must change the coconut fiber to a dry one and put a little cup. However, I don't want to rip its web off. I'd be very pleasant to hear your suggestions. Here you go.

P.S. I've have a problem with posting an image. I've done a little research for how to uplode a picture. I've search by "post image", but i haven't found anything. So I googled for external hosting for image upload.
P.P.S. Sorry for my language skills.
