[QUOTE="Johnnyp1987, post: 88696, member: 4257"] After pondering the idea for a while i decided to rehouse my arboreal slings into larger enclosures. My a.versicolor was in a 100ml pill pot, my other 2 avics and my p.cambridgei were in 25ml pill pots. Most people recommend pill pots for 1-2cm slings, i agree to the most part but there was just something about these 4 slings that gave me the feeling they felt "cramped" and i thought abit more room is better than not enough room lol. I searched about, and stumbled across a website that sells empty plastic sweet jars. Id seen similar on ebay for 3-4 times the price. I also bought some bigger ones for my pokies. My p.metallicas are ok in their current enclosures for now but i wanted to rehouse my p.smithi. So i ordered some and they are great.
