So I'll be getting a few tarantulas soon, 2 Caribena versicolors, 1 Harpactira pulchripes, and 1 Kochiana brunnipes, and just wanted to be sure I'm doing things correctly.
First I wanna make sure Im getting the care right. As I understand, I should keep the K. brunnipes damp for its whole life, and keep the C. versicolors and H. pulchripes damp as slings but keep them dry, with some watering but not a lot, when they are juveniles and adults, and also give the versicolor tons of cross ventilation.
I also have a few questions about how to make the versicolor enclosure, the slings are half an inch and I am planning on putting them into 32oz deli cups with some cork and fake plants, but I feel like that might be a bit too large, also I have some cork bark and fake plants that Id like to use but they where used in my old GBB enclosures so theyre probably covered in urticating setae, is there any way to wash them off, or do I not need to worry about that in the first place? And lastly I know they need lots of holes in the side of the enclosure for cross ventilation, but should I put holes in the top too?
