[QUOTE="m0lsx, post: 161469, member: 29323"] Earlier this week I transferred a few slings into slightly larger enclosures. Partly because the vile the chilobrachys dyscolus was in, had at least one small white thing moving within the substrate. So I wanted to move it into cleaner substrate & after gently transferring it out of the vile I decided it would benifit from something very slightly larger. Then having moved the chilobrachys, I looked at my cambridgei viles & decided something very slightly larger would be good for them too. The above made me think. I have 2 H chilensis slings & these being slow growing will be in the viles for some time to come. I lightly mist the inside of the vile at least once a week & the substrate is already looking more moist than it did & this after just a couple of months. How long do people keep slings in viles for on the same substrate? As it is harder to keep a small amount of substrate in optimum condition. Also do people put holes in the side of viles to help air circulation? As all of mine only have holes in the lids. I have not had any problems, but just wondered if I could do anything better than I am. [/QUOTE]
