Im sure lots of weird things have been used. lolI eventually found a small enough receptacle for my C. Laetas enclosure but had a hard time deciding where to put it.. Theres so much webbing that theres not enough space left. I didnt want to destroy my T's web so I left it out and just made sure to give it plenty of water. Glad I didnt destroy its web as it was in premolt when i got it and i was completely unaware. Now that its molted and ready for a new enclosure Im not sure wether or not it is worth while to try to put the water dish back in the old enclosure? Do slings need a water dish or as long as they get plenty of water will they be fine?I will be receiving my new enclosure on Wednesday but will take some time to set it up. I have also heard that its best to wait a couple weeks to rehouse a freshly molted T. Is this correct? Are there ways to tell when a Tarantula has completely hardend after molting? Again this is my C. Laeta so already going to be taking extra precaution. If I am best leaving it for a couple weeks then maybe i should add a water dish.</blockquote>
