Could I improve any thing husbandry wise for my new Peruvian pink toe?

[jcast]

So I recently picked up this T at my local shop and I have an arboreal tarantula cribs enclosure and was wondering if I should keep it in the package I got it in it wait because I feel like the other enclosure I have would be better as it has more upward space

From what I can see, it looks like the enclosure could use some additional ventilation.

You really want a piece of wood to climb on, with the top areas surrounded by plants....keep the floor clear of clutter.

It's hard to tell from the pic, but is that one of those little house-shaped numbers from Tarantula Cribs, or is it just a cube? If it's the former, then by all means use it over the deli cup, & furnish it as described by Cold Blood.
My suggestion though, is that if it IS the house, lean the cork bark toward the back of the enclosure, & place the water dish immediately inside the opening, as it's huge, the magnets holding it on are strong, & the jostling of removing it can disturb the little T enough to send them darting . I'm generally not a fan of any brand of those acrylic enclosures, with those little houses being the only exception..

Would be nice to see the New Pads interior decorations.
Post a picture or two when New Enclosure is all Set Up.

Avicularia/Caribena: How to create an enclosure for slings.

Before I start, I need to say that this is the method that works best for me when keeping half inch slings. I see so many new people on this forum ask "How do I set up an enclosure for a my Avicularia/Caribena sling?" Hopefully this will help. What you will need: A drill, a 1/16" drill bit...

Yes tall via arboreal setup, not terrestrial.

And use a cork slice at a 45 degree angle is best, though you can use plastic plants hanging from the ceiling in an inverted setup.

Add some elevated plants and you will be good....plants add cover as well as anchor points to encourage webbing.

Looks good! More covering on the top (either foliage or wood) as he will most likely chill up there the most so he will feel safer with a bit more clutter.

Best I could do without going out and buying a plant, do you think it’ll grow roots? I made sure the soil is moist

 

[Ratmosphere]

Not bad to be honest, will probably web that whole top up. Try and find a deeper water dish too.

Best water dish for slings (IMO)

A bunch of people use Poland Spring water bottle caps which are very shallow and dry out easily. Others use tattoo ink caps, including myself in some instances. They work nice for very small slings. I find the best style water bottle cap is the one pictured. You can find these at Walmart in...

I dont know about that plant. Plants wont grow roots like that.

can you get access to fake plants? Like those they sell cheap in craft stores?

just plain plastic leaves. you wash em and thats all. Looks good forever. Easy to clean poop off.

theres a Michaels in San Diego. And you can get really cheap stuff with coupons over there. Less then 10$.
