Honey Comb containers for sling enclosure

[rabbitseason]

I recently received 2 slings from a seller, and I inquired to where they got their containers because I couldn't for the life of me find them anywhere. The response I got was that they were actually for bee keeping, honey comb containers. What do we think of these for terrestrial slings? All they did was drill some ventilation holes in and it was good to go. Personally I thought they were very cute! But may have lacked space for burrowing, I haven't seen my Brachypelma hamorii burrow, it seems to prefer to sit under the leaf mostly.



Some pictures I took of my sling in the container (featured blurry Lior, my Brachypelma hamorii, on the right image.)

i would add more vent holes then just remove the moss keep the leaves as its hide and add a shallow bottle cap for a water dish and call it done

the stainless steel gaze i use for my ventilation needs is also a bee keeping product

this is perfect, rated food safe and made for visual displays at the same time, nice

probably closes well too, so no honey can spill out into the customers bag

I have these, they're too big for slings, although they can work......for the record, ideally, you don't want to provide much depth, burrowing should be discouraged, it is the biggest cause of slow growth.

Keep your small terrestrial slings like this.
