To mist or not to mist

[ballpython2]

I have two slings one is a Mexican Red Leg (Brachypelma emilia) and the other is a Brazilian Salmon Tarantula (Lasiodora parahybana) do I mist their enclosures at all? or should I mist the enclosure but only the walls of it??

With slings I mist the side of the wall of the container. You dont ever want to mist the T itself, just the walls or the substrate. A lot of the time slings will drink off the walls and even pick up substrate and suck the water out of it. Most slings at .5" and under I keep on the moist side.

if theyre too small for a chapstick cap, just mist one of the corners of the enclosure or one side of the vial/cup. if it's a high humidity T, i also give it an all around mist from like 12" above the enclosure. the mist will settle on their webbing and they also get it from there.

keep the l. para's enclosure somewhat humid. with a humidity gradient through the tank.
