Sling humidity lvl

[PsyC]

Hi. I have my b. Smithi sling and gbb sling on dry substrate. the humidity in thw air is 50%+. Should i moist the substrate?

You should put a few drops of water on the sub and/or wall for drinking every couple of days. No need to keep the sub wet, it should have dry areas too.

Makes me chuckle that you wrote out humidity but forgot your e's in level. There is no set level for humidity for slings, also I have no idea how big your slings are or what you have them on. I usually just wet a small area for them and they seem to do fine. At 2.5 cm then you can give them a small cap for water to maintain humidity with mostly dry sub and at 5 cm them can be kept like their adult counterparts.

I usually have all my slings in a micro climate. Never wet their substrate in their own enclosures just the layer of soil in the micro climate. Stays at a good 85-90 range and haven't had a problem yet. They all molt and thrive well . I hope that helped in anyway

Usually with my slings I'd keep them at a slightly higher humidity,to help with molting and what not.For example my gbb sling was kept at 55-65% humidity,as a sling,he's now kept at 40-50% being a juvenile at this point,slightly higher temps also work well for slings,raising metabolism,growth rate,though I'd only recommend this in the early sling stages,as it gets bigger its less nessecary for higher temps(by high temps I'd mean 30 celcious),I keep my Ts around the 25-28 degrees mark (lowest to highest temps)
