My T after 24 hours...

[IMAGINE1391]

So I have had my GBB for over 24 hours and it has not moved hardly at all. As some of you know with my last update, the sling molted during transit. It has stayed pretty much in the same position at least every time I checked on it besides turning in the other direction from time to time. I did see where it put a few strands of webbing on the hide I provided but not much at all. So I’m guessing this is still all normal after molting?

That is normal as your T just went through several stressful moments. It was shipped and it also molted, two stressful moments in life. Let is get accustomed to its new surroundings, keep fresh water available and just keep an eye on it.

So should I change the bottle cap of water everyday?

Just keep the bottle cap filled with water. No need to take the cap out entirely.

Would you recommend to mist a corner of the enclosure as well or no?

Misting doesn't really help. Since it's a sling you could overflow the water dish slightly, but as it gets bigger you won't have to worry about overflowing as they are a dry species.

Alright so pretty simple

I refill my water bowls as needed and then I clean or replace them every two weeks or so. If they get dirt in them sooner than that I clean them as needed.
