[QUOTE="Seekeroftruth, post: 183408, member: 33210"] If the substrate is dry and you only misted as is shown in the picture, it's possible it could be dehydration. This is because misting dries up quickly. I can't tell by the photo is its abdomen looks shriveled. That would be a sign of this. Since you don't have much ventilation, maybe the water droplets would have lasted longer for you than it does me. I dont see cross ventalation on the sides. Do you have any ventalation on the top? If it has no ventalation it can run out of air. I don't know how long this takes though. I know some people keep their T's enclosed in trash bags while spraying for bugs in their home for a short time due to their low need for oxygen. It seems like it could be a weakling though, as I've had mine in less than ideal conditions and had no deaths. I think healthy slings should be able to go a couple days without food or oxygen and still survive. I could be wrong though, im still a beginner myself. [/QUOTE]
