Just give a sling a water dish and maybe moisten the substrate on one side every few months, but let it dry out. The main thing is fresh water in a dish, suitable decor to web to, and heavy cross ventilation. Do not let your substrate get wet or muddy, just moisten it and let it dry out. Many people don't make it rain for avics because overly humid, stuffy conditions are blamed for killing them, so they just provide a water dish. I only do it rarely, as a treat or to simulate rain in the wild. Don't let it get colder than about 70 at night, 75 or 80 in the day, and enjoy watching a cute electric blue sling turn into a purple legged beauty <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></p></blockquote><p></p>
