I had my A.versi sling in one for a lil while (1 day) then I just got tired of the orange tint And not being able to take pics through it and transferred it to a glass salt an pepper shaker lol works a lot better for me :) But anyway they'll (Pill bottle) work for slings IMO :)

Yeah sure best thing about the salt an pepper shake is that the lid already had holes lol






I have also been thinking about trying a spice rack setup for all my arboreal slings *shurg* still thinking though

Those pill bottles will work fine. I had a P. cambridgei in an orange pill bottle until it grew out of it. The orange tint didnt bother me. I took off the lid to take pictures. They're slings, they're easy to handle and take out if you want pictures. Although I do like the glass pepper jar. Versicolor are one of my favorite T's.

It might just be me but...I think those twigs are starting to mold. If so I would change them out immediately. Did you get them from outside?

I had some spare time, so this is what I have done. Made for my versicolor sling actually. Pics are kinda self explanatory. The upper part has a total of 20 holes, this is good enough right?

Oh yeah,about the bottom piece! It wasn't holding enough substrate for me to feel safe about drops, so I added a medicine cup, cut off an amount so it'll fit snuggly. Substrate goes in that little cup

Yeah it was mold .....And yes I had collected them from outside and baked them in the oven for an hour at 250F But when I took these pics which was like 4-6 months ago I too noticed the mold so I took them out and soaked in a bleach solution and then re-baked them for about 2 hours it hasn't come back yet so fingers crossed :) Thank You for your concern.

IF they are used pill bottles I would worry about traces of drugs that could monkey with the animals' endocrine systems and screw up their development.
