[QUOTE="Konstantin, post: 182771, member: 30996"] Hi you can go to the nearest supermarket get a pot of pasta salad or similar and after you eat it wash and rinse well the tub poke some holes in it and you have your enclosure. Honestly forget about humidity.If your substrate is partly moist its all you need dry air in the room only means you will need to add more frequently water to the substrate. Heat lamps are the worst option for heating tarantulas. After you get the pasta pot and move your sling in it.Clean the enclosure and put the pot in it.Then get a heat matt with thermostat and place it inside the enclosure but not on the bottom ,on the side and put the sling pot near it but not touching the heat matt this will create a warmer spot for your sling if your room is below 19-20°C You are most likely killing your sling with kindness trying to micromanage the environment. I keep all my slings in small 1oz to 4 oz pots on the shelf with moist substrate and never have issues with any of them.Temperatures in my room vary from 18 to 30°C. Regards Konstantin [/QUOTE]
