[QUOTE="Nunua, post: 151017, member: 4947"] Cross ventilation is always better than top-only, because that's when the air flows through the enclosure instead of staying still. However, I think that jar should be fine as long as you keep it relatively dry so it won't get stuffy :) If it's impossible to have a water dish (for example cut and wash a piece of painkiller blister pack, or use a small bottle cap etc.), drizzle a bit of water on one side every few days so the sling can drink - Caribena and other Avics drink quite often, but don't mist the whole enclosure so the air won't get too humid and stale. No need to worry about the height. As arboreal species, C. versicolor won't drop that easy and they can handle falls better than heavy bodied terrerstrial ones. I would add few twigs (or plastic straws for example), so the little guy have anchor points for webbing. They live in treetops where there is plenty crisscrossing twigs and leaves - Not impenetrable, but a nice place to create a web castle :D Furthermore, if the sling starts webbing the lid (the best airflow, dark, easy to make a horizontal web tube) you can just keep tearing it down - Tarantulas aren't stupid, they try webbing one place few times but move to the better area if the web keeps getting destroyed. Here's all enclosures I've had for my C. versicolor so far :) [IMG]https://puu.sh/DvCfl/0633b2b944.png[/IMG] Almost impossible to see, but there is a clear blister pack as a water dish in the bottom. [IMG]https://puu.sh/DvCgt/6474d62af2.png[/IMG] [IMG]https://puu.sh/DvCjd/8f1762bce1.png[/IMG] There could be more vegetation in the last one, but so far it has seem to been happy with the setup.
