Tarantula Ephebopus murinus

I kept the EWLs and 1st instar in a sealed 32 oz deli on cheesecloth suspended over water, opening it once every 4-5 days to examine them, take photos, etc. The moisture did not seem to be high enough in the deli, and they had difficulties molting to 2nd instar. 21 slings were able to fully come out of their molt, but 43 were stuck in their molts to varying degrees (some with just the end of a leg stuck, some with legs 1 and pedipalps stuck). As of May 2, 60 slings are still alive and able to eat. Only 10 still have molts stuck on them. I have kept them very moist, feeding pre-killed once every 3 days, and on heat mats with a thermostat set to 80°F.
