Not new to Pampho, I have a P.antinous that is thriving and have several Xenesthis and Phormictopus species so I know the general care very well. Just kind of worried as this sling was so hard to find and don't want to mess it up. Has deep moist substrate consisting of topsoil mixed with sphagnum and vermiculite, a cork bark half round as a hide and deep water dish that I overfill weekly. If you have any additional tips let me hear it.

I keep mine like I keep my P. platyomma. Just keep it like any other Pampho and don't worry too much, the more you worry, the more you'll do stuff you don't usually do and might cause unknown variables.

Just give it more sub. I noticed mine likes to burrow A LOT more than my P. platyomma.

There isn't any additional care tbh, just think of it as an expensive Pampho.
Also, although some Pampho can be drought tolerant, my P. solaris doesn't seem to like the dry side, it always stayed on the moist part and once I moistened it, it also went there.

Good luck with it! Great species.

Already noticing that mine won't go anywhere near the dry side and sticks to the moist area

Yeah, in the end I just keep everything moist with the lower levels even moister and never let the sub dry out completely.
No issues so far and I often see mine either deeply burrowed in its hide during the day and often out once evening hits. 👍
