Message: <blockquote data-quote="Konstantin" data-source="post: 171572" data-attributes="member: 30996">Hi allThe tyni one is settling well in the new house.Did some webbing and had few meals too.Unfortunately it sits right on top and keeps attaching the web to the lid.I only open to feed as rip the web apart and can add water to web and top up the water dish though the vent holes.It occasionally makes a spin on the rim of the tub but is been out on the outside only once luckily.I have not seen it go down yet and think it waits for the crickets to go up to catch them and thats why put few drops of water up on the web or  decor to have a drink every few days.Keep part the substrate a little moist as is only tyni sling and the enclosure is vented very well.Today I noticed that it had made like a web tunnel under one of the leaves and was sat in it.So cute.Its my first arboreal and the smallest of my slings so no idea how it moults or how to tell if is in premolt because is not as fat as my terestrial species. Do they eat right up the moult or ???I wander as if it makes the moult mat near the lid edge where it sits i will rip it apart if I open the enclosure to put feeder in.I have some 32oz deli cups to make enclosure ala Tom Moran  but it looks well small to go in yet and also keeps leaving the boluses up in the webbing so wont be very convinient to pick them out going from the bottom up.Any advice greatly appreciated.Regards Konstantin</blockquote>
