[QUOTE="#Angela#, post: 47176, member: 1184"] Congratulations on your new babies! I have two versis and an A. Minatrix. All three I have raised up from 0.5 inch slings. I started mine in the arboreal sling enclosures from jamiestarantulas. The humidity issue is a tough one to get a handle on. I lost one minatrix because the enclosure got too dry, and it had a bad molt. With Jamies's enclosures, I kept them humid by spraying so that small droplets were on the interior walls (not in the webs) and in my climate they would dry out each night. When I thought they were getting close to a molt, I would spray more often so that the babies would drink (including on their webs). I did not put water bowls in until they were over 1inch. Just my preference. They are a really fun species. One of my versis sees everything as food and is always out prowling her territory. The other one is a little more reclusive, but comes out to look around on occasion. (I interpret that as being hungry, so that's when I feed). Even their web designs are different! I have enjoyed watching them grow up as a pair, because they are so different. Congrats! Do you have names picked out? Angela [/QUOTE]
