Sling enclosure question!

[lindsay keegan]

I have a 1.25 inch C. versicolor who I’ve raised through three molts now. It’s the cutest, fuzziest blueberry I’ve ever seen and I wanna make sure it’s comfy in the container I have it in. Currently in a 3 x 2.5 inch cube I soldered holes in from the container store. I was thinking of moving it to the next size up, but it’s built up some beautiful tunnels that I would hate to mess with unless necessary.

Tarantulas do like tight/cozy spaces. From looking at the photo, I'd say you can probably leave it in there for at least one more molt.

will be fine. at that size I keep them in something taller. 32 oz deli cups are perfect for "larger" size sling/juvis, and they can be perfectly clear.

What’s the tape for?

When you do move it into something larger you can get a bigger AMAC box and flip it over so the top is now the bottom since C. versicolor tend to go up.

Here are some excellent care threads that you might want to look into if you haven’t already:

As to webbing, webbing can be remade so no need to hold back in destroying it if you need to get access to something like a bolus.

@lostbrane it’s because I’m a dummy and the lower holes are just big enough for the crickets to immediately escape lol

Heh fair enough.
