Can you post pics of the setup you were using this will help find the issue.Yes cross ventilation. Water dish. Dry substrate. So I don't know why it died.![]()
Remember thisHow big was it? Did you provide cross ventilation? Was the substrate damp or dry?
I provide all of my Caribena versicolor slings with tons of cross ventilation and a water dish with dry substrate. Haven't had a death ever keeping them this way.
Looks very minimal top ventilation all seems to be at the sides, I don't think that killed it but could be a factor in it. I think that enclosure is more suited to a terrestrial/fossorial T, ventilation with Avics you want down low and up high to create the flow of air.Here is my set up
Okay ill look for a better enclosure next time. This is my favorite trantula. I've killed 4 slings already.Looks very minimal top ventilation all seems to be at the sides, I don't think that killed it but could be a factor in it.

No chemicals. At all. It stays warm. I live in alaska so always have heat up.In my experience, air holes at the top doesn’t really matter. It seems like you have everything set up to how I would.
If you can answer about the water dish scent, if there is any chemical smell and what you keep the temps at in your house I think we might get closer to an answer.
