Some new enclosures

[basement pets]

These are some sling enclosures I am setting up for the tliltocatl epicureanum and brachypelma emilia I am getting. Any suggestions?

Yeah, use a condiment cup instead.

Ok I have a few deli cups will those work better?

Drilling some side ventilation would be a good idea, for better air flow.

Ok I will try to drill some in these but If it doesn't work, I can use deli cups

I'm shocked nobody has asked the much needed question: how big are these slings?

 

[basement pets]

1/2 inch and 3/4 inch. they are slower growers so I thought that these would probably be good for a while. I drilled side ventilation as well.

At those sizes, especially with slow growing species, I think you'd be better served going with smaller enclosures for a few molts at least. @cold blood has a lot of history and did some comparisons of growth in small (condiment cup) vs larger enclosures like these and I think he said he saw something like 4x faster growth in the small containers with some species.

I can put the 1/2 inch sling in a vial that I bought with the order. It just wont be done before the sling comes in 2 days.
