Also what size is the Caribena versicolor that you are getting? A 16 oz deli cup could easily be too large, or small for it. Slings, even arboreal slings, tend to often be at the least semi fossorial. So you will need some substrate depth & cover, as well as some height for a versicolor. Then, as they get older the substrate depth is not important, but for a small sling, a small vile, like an old camera film tube, is all that is needed. Just push some airholes into the lid with a hot pin.</p></blockquote><p></p>
