Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sabeth" data-source="post: 12646" data-attributes="member: 545">I am 99% sure that I will be getting two slings soon, one of which will be an A. versicolor under 1". Reading The Tarantula Keeper's Guide, the section on babies says to house baby Ts with damp substrate to keep up an appropriate humidity. I'm wondering if I should do this with the versi as well, since they have no association with the cage floor and always stay up. Should I do it? If not, how do I keep the enclosure wet? Is misting the way to go? I've read that misting is futile since it dries up very quickly. Is wet sub a better idea? Also, when using wet sub, I know there is an increased risk of fungus and mite infestations. About how often should it be changed to prevent this? Thanks for your help, guys. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
