Based on our knowledge of Irminias: - high humidity (65% to 75%; 70% to 80% for slings) - plenty of ventilation - keep it in an arboreal enclosure, although they are more fossorial as slings. In other words, move it from that cup - temps between 75 and 80 - two inches of substrate for sub-adult to adult (moist it monthly, mist once a week); 1" - 1.5" of good moisture-retaining substrate for slings - Dry Season is February, March, April; Wet season is May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December The goal is to mimic Venezuela as best as you can

[@Kirbyroth]

hey Kim doing something nice for change

[@tonez_8317]

Lol ^

[@simpgodbrown3120]

Wow

[@revenant8331]

Mine just enjoys some warmth about 20-27 C and high humidity but let to to dry out until the top of the soil is moist. I keep mine in a “bio active” enclosure with live mosses and springtails to keep it clean. The springtails are also a good indicator for when it gets to dry as they stop coming to the surface as often.

[@taylormwilson1]

[@kathrync2089]

I have a P. irminia sling, she prefers to be arboreal all the time. When I bought her she was in a tiny deli cup with substrate. Soon as I got her home, she stayed on the lid. So I rehoused her into a small arboreal enclosure. I have a tiny water dish in it for her. And occasionally lightly mist the enclosure. She has plenty of cross ventilation, and I keep her between 72-75 degrees F.

[@axel_axolotl9821]

I do like the GoPro view, with it being very clear and its not blurred, i can hear your voice just fine too. But as you have said, the lens is huge and i personally dont like the curved view we get at the edges. I honestly like the phone better, even when it is blurry, just because of these things. I hope you find out which one you like best, EL.

[@AverytheCubanAmerican]

That cologne should hire you as their spokesperson, they'd make a lot of money if they did

It’s the alcohol in it. Just use isopropyl alcohol. It takes the marker right off.

[@Butterworthy]

I've had an irminia since it was a tiny sling (it's molted 3 times with me) and I keep it in an arboreal enclosure with 2 inches of substrate and keep the substrate kind of moist as well as a small water dish. It dug out a depression at the bottom of the cork bark, the webbed the hell out of everything between the enclosure and cork so I can't even see it now. But it deposited a molt outside its den a couple weeks ago, so it's doing pretty well

[@ImranAli-hv3fu]

[@emilyyi420]

no because they can easily run out of the spoon

[@Gnarfendorf]

@@emilyyi420 sure if you try to carry them for longer distances, but for just spooning them out of those cups it shouldve been a bit more practical? just speculating here as ive never handled any larger kind of spider, but thats far too much improvising imho

They can climb up the bit you hold and it would turn out terrible

I have 2 irminia. A 5.5" mature female that I rescued and a 2" sling that I got at .5", I keep my Irminia similar to my C. versicolor. Lots of ventilation, moist substrate with a small dryer area that I let nearly dry out before re-moistening, arboreal setup. The deli cup you used was no good. I power feed slings until 2" to get out of most fragile stage ASAP. Ive been lucky and had no losses with my irminia yet. Im sorry you have had bad luck. Dont give up on this species. They are so beautiful and rewarding to keep. Im looking for a mature male to breed my female in the near future.

Doesnt matter for sling but when it grows up a little keep them in arboreal enclosure, well ventilated prefferably crossventilation. When I asked experienced keepers how humid I should keep Irminia they all answered - "You cannot overdo dampness with Irminia." So I literally took their word for it and kept it super damp like literally Im amazed that it didnt mold. Maybe its because I didnt give her that much substrate she webs quite a lot. Now she has much more substrate, doesnt utilize it at all, just webbed a corner with corkbark and uses it as a hide. As soon as she grows she becomes sturdy. By the way when I got her I was a newbie and she jumped and started bolting around the kitchen. My wife caught her with catchcup because I froze and she torn two of her front legs off. My girl still made it and regrown them over time. She is big and gorgeous and very sturdy. Believe me Irminias dont die as often you had a stroke of baaaad luck. In my country irminias are so overbred so cheap so easy to take care of. Some breeders unable to sell irminias even release them out into the garden or something :D :D Imagine that
