[QUOTE="kormath, post: 108636, member: 4199"] Jamie's enclosure are fine for slings, i have a bunch of them i've used for all my slings. That tea bottle is a bit big i think for a sling. If you have a container store ([URL='http://www.containerstore.com']www.containerstore.com[/URL]) nearby you can get amac boxes for a couple bucks a piece that will work perfectly, they're what Jamie makes her enclosures from. [url]http://www.containerstore.com/s/clear-amac-boxes/d?productId=10003497&q=amac[/url] I'd go with the 2-5/16" sq. x 6-3/16" h box to start, then when the sling as about 1" or 1.5" DLS move it into the 3-7/16" sq. x 6-5/16" h box. Then when it's about 3" dls you can move it into that tea bottle. You'll need a drill to drill vent holes on at least 2 sides. cross ventilation is key with Avic's. You'll want to build the enclosure "upside down" so the substrate is in the lid, then you won't mess up any of the webs when you open it for feeding/watering. here's an example of one of my early avic enclosures. You'll want the vent holes to go from top to bottom though, i added more vent holes after i took this pic. [url]http://www.tarantulaforum.com/attachments/20160107_174315-1-jpg.13499/[/url] So vent holes for cross ventilation, and anchor points (sticks, leaves, etc.) for the Avic to build their web hammocks and tunnels on and you're all set.
