Looks good Kenny. I'm going to be busy soon as wellSlings,slings,slings...proper arboreal sling enclosures and storage of slings. (2nd-4th instar)
*Terrestrial slings can be kept this also...just add more substrate and trim the plants to look like shrubs instead of trees.

Ventilated shoe box storage for slings helps from the enclosures drying out too fast (evaporation). Slings this size will drink from the moss. This is a crucial time in their lives. Dehydration is probably one of the major killers of tiny slings. I water them once a week and feed them twice at this stage.

@Enn49 can I have this thread added to this? https://www.tarantulaforum.com/threads/today-in-the-tarantula-room.23259/ Thank you in advance
Mature males should be fed every 3-4 weeks for sure. If a mature male is fed alot you take that chance of them trying to molt again. My thing with them is I just watch their abdomen. A sleek abdomen is what you want to see...not a female rump. Water is the most important thing for mature males...dehydration kills males extremely fast.Thanks for this post, it should help everyone who finds it.
What do you think about feeding mature adults once monthly, specifically males?
