OBT sling moisture

Hi there.
I upgrade my obt sling enclosure last night and added some moss at one end of the enclosure.
I know these are dry T's though but I've read that slings like the moisture.
Shall I keep it in or remove it and lightly spray?

Any advice appreciated

Additional moisture sources are always a good idea with slings, even OBTs, as long as they have the option to chose the level of moisture they want to in addition to having a water dish filled with clean water at all times.

How large is your sling and how large is the enclosure? P murinus like to burrow...

Here is the new enclosure.
I've got cross ventilation on the ends and also the lid.

Hi would pop the top off and let the enclosure breathe. If you have a kitchen splatter screen you can pop that on top while the lid is off or transfer the T temporarily.

I keep my OBT(all sizes), on bone dry substrate, with just a dish with water in it. I even let it dry out for a while. Never had a single issue. Many keepers keep them dry with great success and seem to do better with a dry environment.
