[QUOTE="octanejunkie, post: 169319, member: 3872"] My first order from PNW and the first item in my cart was a 3/4" H. pulchripes sling! I had a 4x4x3 Amac cube already drilled so I filled it 2/3 of the way up with a substrate mix: coco fiber, peat moss, shredded sphagnum moss and a dash of play sand. I layered the substrate graduating moisture with the bottom wetter than the top which was barely damp to the touch. A cork bark chunk, moss and silk leaf topped off the substrate and I made a starter burrow with my finger tip and put in a bottle cap water dish. A spender sling, it cautiously walked out of the paper towel into it's new enclosure. It walked around the entire perimeter before settling on the cork bark under a leaf. I can't get a good pic of the sling as it sits now but here are a few pics of the enclosure.
