Humidity for c. Versi

[shaun]

Am reading lots of conflicting care sheet info (as usual) for c. Versi.
One sheet says that slings are very hard to keep because they need such high humidity! It suggests damp substrate, misting and water dishes.
Sounds like advice for keeping a toad. Is it rubbish, or do I need to keep a sling very humid?

Definitely don't keep them in a high humidity enclosure - stuffy humid enclosures kill Ts...
Ignore online care sheets as most are incorrect - all the info you need is here on the forum, C. Versi's do well if kept like Avics look through the 'Avicularia' section on the forum and you will find plenty of good advice and how to set up an enclosure for a sling
Hope that helps
