[QUOTE="MassExodus, post: 52478, member: 4086"] Lots of slings burrow at that size, 2 cm is around an inch, correct? If a sling burrows, it's happy. Just be careful not to over water the moss. The safest way is as Fleas and Entity stated, just put a bottle cap with fresh water in the cage. I only mist slings when they look to be in heavy premolt, and then only sparingly, but many people use the method you're using as well. Hope this helped, keep us updated on your slings progress, I always like hearing from new keepers :) Edit: cross ventilation is important if you're misting, you don't want mold or mites messing with the new baby :) Cheap plastic containers from the dollar store are very good sling enclosures, as they can be drilled for ventilation any way you please. The view may not be as great, but your sling is burrowing right now anyway:) [/QUOTE]
