[QUOTE="Tortoise Tom, post: 140544, member: 27883"] For slings, I used a tip that I've seen often repeated here on this forum to simply over flow the water bowl a little bit once a week or so. This seems to be all the substrate moisture this species needs. I've read many accounts of the old days when this species first became available and popular and people thought they were a sensitive species and difficult to keep alive because everyone was housing them with dampness. As soon as we figured out the dry thing, all of them survived, thrived and proved to be very easy keepers. My first girl was already about 3" when I got her, but my other two were smaller. All did well with dry coco coir and a water bowl over in the corner. I think it was already mentioned, but be aware that this species is a heavy webber. No matter how beautiful you make the enclosure, it will all look like a white nightmare before Christmas in the space of a few weeks. I'm hoping to snap some pics to post after work this afternoon. :T: [/QUOTE]
