I'm considering getting a honduran curly hair tarantula sling, the one I'm looking at is around a quarter inch. I'm doing my research and I just want o make sure I have my information straight before I bring the little guy home. I'm assuming the deli cup is far too big for it rn so I have access to a medium sized prescription pill bottle that is 2 inches in diameter and 3.75 inches tall that I will perforate with a tumb tack (sides and top). I have cocofiber that I will sterilize in an oven and I'm plaining on filling the jar about 1/2 way. I have a mister and from my reading it seems to be advisable to mist only one side of the enclosure for the sling to drink from at this size (although I also have acess to some pipets that I could use if a mister provides too much water). I was also planning on picking up a wingless furit fly culture while I was getting the sling (scales n tails) so I could fead it without having to worry about pin head crickets munching on my new T. I have acess to some smaller fake plants that I'll throw in the enclosure to make some shelter. Also IDK if this is absolutly insane, but I just remembered I have acess to an old chicken incubator that I could use to maintian more stable humidity and temprature for my sling. To emphasize, I have very little experience and I am eager for any advice that you all can offer! You all have been incredibly supportive to newcomers to the hobby like me!
