[QUOTE="Phil, post: 139479, member: 4151"] My advice is as follows: - Don't have it in an enclosure too large - restricts ability to hunt. - Feed prey no larger than the size of the abdomen - same rule generally applies to any size spider - cross ventilation - a must! Hopefully the vial/sling pot already had it? I usually put a bit of cotton wool in the spiders home whenever I sell spiderlings that size and the slung pot already has cross ventilation - substrate - keep fairly dry for the versi. put droplets of water onto the web so it can drink but don't saturate the substrate - let them settle - as others have said, they can easily get stressed and you have described a lot of changes. Finally, try not to panic. Usually resilient and left alone will thrive. I hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
