[QUOTE="Jess S, post: 166617, member: 29302"] Hi there. To be honest, a lot of breeders estimate sizes as they don't have time to individually measure each one. If estimating then they'll slightly underestimate to be on the safe side, as it's better to receive a larger sling than stated than the other way round (avoids complaints lol). Some people insist on using deli cups for slings but I agree with [USER=4947]@Nunua[/USER] that your enclosure will be fine. Although B smithi's are dry species, slings do need some moisture in the substrate. I keep half the substrate moist for my smithi sling but that's just me. [/QUOTE]
