Sling enclosure too big?

I recently moved my sling from a small almost pill bottle size enclosure to a small deli cup, and it webbed and was doing fine and i noticed yesterday it's all curled up in it's web. I am leaving it alone to see if it is just going to molt.

But i took substrate from my other T's enclosure to fill my deli cup for my little sling and I am wondering if it is possible it is either too big of an enclosure, or the other substrate i used could be harmful to another species?

My sling is really tiny. Could i have kept it in the pill container a lot longer?

I hope this makes sense....

Pictures may help give an indication of size and identify any other possible husbandry issues, also what species is your sling?

Can't see those pics.

But they will deal fine with a larger space. I house them in 16oz deli cups with a large chunk of wood, surround that wood with plants and drop in a water dish....make sure ventilation is sufficient and you are good to go.
