Hello i just ordered a Versi color sling and this video will help for sure!!
@elorine15352 жыл бұрын
My aviculara aviculara sling at 1/2" is my first spider. I have it in a room thats 25C and 60%-70% humidity. The room is primarily my snake room and my sling enclosure is a 4.5" deli cup upside down with another one with the top cut out and the lid on to make the soil layer. I have a bottle cap for drinking. I dont have to do anything on the top since its bottom opening. The sling made a web 4 days after being in the new enclosure and is eating great. I hope it will grow to adult i was primarily trying to get an aviculara caribena versicolor but they didnt have any. I was told that they are extremely hard to keep as slings but i really wanted to try and figured the room is ideal already for thats species. My first enclosure the breeder said to keep it in was similar to yours but half the size and in that room the sling kept circling the vial and looked uncomfortable after 3 days. So i made a new one with massive amount of cross ventilation and since then it circled for 2 days and since settled down. It has always eaten regularly 2 times a week. I hope im doing everything right i did 4 months prior research on multiple youtube vids and a few breeders before buying the spider. I have gotten later on a bracipelma hamorii as a worst case so i at least have a spider and dam it eats ALOT. I accidentally put in 5 crickets and they were all gone in 3 hours!!

I have a third one which isn’t tall but it’s a bit longer and idk what to do - I want to make sure it’s healthy and I’m fretting too much about it not finding it’s crickets
