Coco fiber is easy to get and a renewable resource, they make it their own quickly and it doesn't promote bugs or mold, a good thing. The humidity level for slings is more important than for a more mature spider, usually the water dish and saran wrap on the cover will keep it around 40% once they graduate to a larger enclosure. Good luck with your slings, you won't regret taking on any of the ones on your list. These spiders provide a lot of interest for the lucky keepers and don't take a lot of time in doing so. Many of the folks on this board are really knowledgeable about keeping them, just ask and someone will help you out quickly.</p></blockquote><p></p>
