Anymore to add (Caribena versicolor)

[TherophosaRex2003]

I am doing research for Caribena versicolor, I've looked on sites, videos and arachneboards to get input. I want to make sure I get as much accurate info as I can, so I'm going to post my personal care guide here to see what others have to say.

Avicularia/Caribena: How to create an enclosure for slings.

Before I start, I need to say that this is the method that works best for me when keeping half inch slings. I see so many new people on this forum ask "How do I set up an enclosure for a my Avicularia/Caribena sling?" Hopefully this will help. What you will need: A drill, a 1/16" drill bit...

Feeding is really not something you need to have in writing, base it on how the tarantulas abdomen looks. If it's plump and larger than the carapace, keep off of feeding for a few days. If the spider shows interest in food, an example would be siting at the end of its web tunnel, offer food. Also, use coco fiber for the sub.

I updated this a bit, but if there is anything that needs to be changed, removed, or added please let me know.

No need to fill it 1/3 of substrate, enough to cover the base and keep some humidity is fine. These guys hang out at the very top of an enclosure best having foliage coming from the top down. Using cork bark it has to go to the very top, the usual arboreal setup is not enough as they will not burrow so having things on the base of the enclosure is just for aesthetics or structural reasons.
