One thing with my baboon slings is I try not to keep things overly moist! I have and had 3 OBTs, a Harpactira Pulchripes, 2 Harpactira Cafreriana, a H. Mac sling, a MM King baboon, MF Cyratogyrus Darling and Marshalli! As slings only dampen one side of the enclosure and let the rest dry completely! I have found that my baboons are not crazy about moisture and my H . Pulchripes is now 4 inchs plus and abhors moisture! If you keep them too damp I found it adversely seems to effect them. Also forgot to mention Cyratogyrus Brachycephaleus sling which is still tiny and I keep only one moist corner and rest dry. It is very important as slings to make sure that corner stays moist all the time because as slings they need the humidity! As they become juvies I apply this approach to all my spiders and they will let you know if they like things damper or drier and then keep them as they seem to like.</p></blockquote><p></p>
