I have a B. albo sling 1.3" or so. Having problems with it's enclosure molding.
I have moved it to a new smaller enclosure and it molded again, I moisten the substrate every few days to keep it humid.
I don't want to have to move the sling again as I am scared to stress it. I believe it is getting ready to molt as it has closed off its hide/burrow. It did molt the end of September.
Would it be okay to move it again? Will it be okay with just a small bit of mold?
If I move it today I will bake the substrate and leave out the hide.
I can't find Springtails for sale in Canada yet.
What I have heard is 60-70% humidity, 70-80F, substrate moist enough to clump together, and a water dish. Pack the substrate down, and use a smaller container to house to better control humidity. I am not power feeding, only feeding every 4-5 days.
Any tips on sling care would be very helpful thanks.
