So you're thinking the lack of holes in the side are the primary reason for its slow growth? Like I said, from what I've seen, the greater majority of sling enclosures, especially the small containers/vials only have top vents, and no issues. If it's dry in there except for a water bottle lid full of water, and the tarantula can eat, drink, and not look stressed, does it sound like a ventilation issue? For what it's worth, every rehousing from here on out would most certainly have cross ventilation. I was just under the assumption from all that I've read that the small sling enclosures didn't require them.</p></blockquote><p></p>
