Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dave Jay" data-source="post: 130053" data-attributes="member: 27677">These are the larger size I set up earlier but people advice online led me to down size. These are 9cm diameter and 9cm deep. With these I added a layer of polished gravel on the bottom along with a straw. Some of the Selenotypus "sp.2" have burrowed to the bottom and deposited stones onto the surface. The stones are smooth, so there's no danger to the tarantula. I assume if it's too moist at the bottom they would sit higher in their burrows but I only add 5ml of water at a time every week or two so not enough to flood them. My experience with scorpions means I know how important it is to measure water added and how little is actually needed to keep it moist at the bottom and have it only damp or even dry at the surface. With my slings I'm using the sphagnum moss as a guide, if I see it start to have dry tips I know it's about right.

In this size they just go down their hole or under the sphagnum moss, in the smaller ones they run over the side.[ATTACH=full]29643[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]29644[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
