I keep my Avic slings in 16 oz deli cups with 2 or 3 rings of small holes around the upper sides (none in the top), and inch of dry (not moist) substrate, a piece of cork and/or plastic plant, and a small water bowl (lid from 16 oz water bottle).  I only list them once a week or so, and only a very light spray on their silk (not the substrate), this is for drinking not humidity.  The humidity source is the water bowl.  Many beginners kill off their Avics by keeping them in moist stuffy cages and over misting them.  They live up in trees where breezes dry things out after rains.</blockquote>
