Slings and Misting

[SingaporeBlue]

Quick question for those who are experienced in keeping slings, how often should you mist a slings enclosure, more specifically an A. chalcodes sling?

Not a lot ok keepers mist the enclosure with a sprayer, most just keep a full water dish that they over flow every so often. For A. chalchodes I wouldn’t recommend misting at all, as they should be kept rather on the dry side.

I believe an A. chalcodes is the AZ Blonde. Desert Tarantula

yeah, i've just heard that slings need slightly more moisture because they are only small so wasn't too sure

Aphonopelma slings will bury themselves. Slightly damp substrate towards the bottom and dry at the top allows the sling to choose the best conditions for itself.

A corner with damp moss on the surface will suffice in lieu of a water dish for slings.

I don't mist, personally. Some species will get "rain" but not mist.
