Common genera: Avicularia, Caribena, Ybyrapora, Typochlaena
Enclosure size for adults (see Sling Guide for sling enclosures): Generally an 8×8×12” (20×20×30cm) enclosure is good for most species; a good guide is 2x legspan in width and length and 3x legspan in height from substrate to top.
Enclosure setup (décor, substrate, etc.): These species don’t really need much for substrate as they don’t burrow or even tend to spend much time on the ground, even as slings. Either a long cork bark flat or tube extending the height of the enclosure should be used to allow for a hide. Other things like plants (live or artificial), more bark pieces, or other pieces of wood make good décor.
Humidity/moisture: These spiders, when young especially, often do not do well with heavy misting and stagnant humidity. They must have plenty of cross ventilation (preferably ventilation on two sides and the top). You can add water to the substrate to increase humidity if needed. A water dish either on the bottom of the enclosure or glued/silicone to the side is sufficient. For small slings you can drop water onto the web or lightly spray the wall.
Genera/Species Specific:
Typochlaena seladonia – this species makes trapdoors in the bark of trees, so should be provided with a piece of bark standing up to allow them to create their trapdoor. This is most often done with cork bark, but other soft barks likely work as well.
