Hi, friends! I have 3 more slings arriving this weekend and I don't know how to properly house them. What do Psalmopoeus Irminia, Psalmopoeus Cambridgei and Psalmopoeus Reduncus need to live happy?

My P. irminia had the option of a bark hide in the upper part of its cube or the media at the bottom (50/50 coir/coarse sand). I don't think it has ever explored the aerial hide. Instead, it constructed a burrow in the substrate. From what I understand, this is the norm. So, if your slings are quite small, I'd say give at least a 1/2" to an inch of substrate. If nothing else, "Sheriff Substrate" (Chris_Skeleton) may come by to weigh in.

Glass jar, drill holes on the closing cap, put in some substrate and a stick to web on.
