Earlier today, I was supposed to post a thread citing the "unimportance" of drinking water in sling enclosures. Withheld the post pending personal experience. Several hours later, I caught my 3/4 inch versicolor sling drinking, bottoms up, from a bottle cap (far right) which I glued some distance away from it's webbing (left). The cap was glued to that area before it made its webbing. I wonder why it webbed opposite the water source, could be they arent exactly "that" moisture-loving as some people believe.
Anyhow, slings apparently know WHERE TO GO if theyre thirsty (provided of course that the bottle cap is stationary). As of the writing of this post, the sling is now back on its web.
This is my first versicolor, and so far it's thriving in this relatively large jar. The jar is punched with holes from top to bottom (including the lid). Maybe Im lucky I didnt experience the so-called sudden sling death syndrome that some people unfortunately do with this species.
