Message: <blockquote data-quote="The Bario Bat" data-source="post: 214212" data-attributes="member: 38733">I'm having trouble keeping the 1/2 or smaller slings I just got recently alive. Not sure as to what I'm doing wrong. The T room temp sits at 76 deg and a 30 Humidity. I have lost Gammostola Pulchra, Cyriocosmus elegans and Cryiopagopus Hati Hati, sickens me! I usually get 1" T's or larger and have had great success keeping them.I have been feeding them Wingless Drosophila fruit flies once a week. I keep them in a Small Tarantula cribs enclosers for slings. I did not put in a water dish, but I misted the substrate once a week in a corner, usually at feeding. The substrate was 2/3 full and I use a mixture of Zoo med soil and the Zoo med bio soil with some moss mixed in. I have read some of the past threads, but they still did not give me the answers I'm looking for. Any insight would be much appreciated. All three are 1 month in my care.  Thanks.</blockquote>
