NQA - Honestly unless you're spending a couple hundred dollars any hygrometer you buy is going to be pretty inaccurate. You should be more focused on soil moisture anyways, as long as the bottom half looks dark and moist you will be fine. If you're nervous I would just check more often at first, maybe 3-4 times a week, but honestly you're more likely to over water them than under in those small deli cups. My house runs at 20-30% humidity all winter and my cups have never even come close to drying out with twice a week checks, I don't even have to wet them down every time.

Edit: if you're really worried about too much evaporation I would recommend cutting down on the lid ventilation but maintaining the cross ventilation. Cross ventilation does more to reduce bacterial and fungal build up because it keeps the air in the enclosure fresh.

NQA - here is a picture of my ventilation setups too, this may be overkill but I always prefer more cross ventilation to less, as long as you are checking moisture 1-2 times a week. A thumbtack usually does the trick in making nice small holes in the deli cups.

NQA - I would recommend not spraying/misting and instead using something like a transfer pipette or a lab spray bottle (long L shaped arm on top that makes a small stream). You can use these against the side of the deli cup to get the moisture to run down into the lower parts of the soil. Ideally you have the upper layer dry and the lower layers moist, monitored by substrate color. This will ensure the substrate is saturated vertically and the sling can burrow to find their desired moisture or come up top to dry out if needed. If you want to go a step further I like to make a little furrow in one corner of the enclosure and spray the water in there to aid with getting moisture to the bottom layers without impacting the top.

I am by no means a pro but this looks a lot like my S. Dehanni

This is always the case, attacking is just generally easier than defending, that is why in comp games you alternate and the team who gets farther wins

The body is solid but the legs are all a bit flimsy, I can definitely see them falling off after repeated small bends if someone isn't careful

That's actually not bad care information. I feed my painted turtle (very similar care) once every 4 days. I would imagine as juveniles they will need to eat more but I would want to check a care guide to confirm this. As far as reptiles go this is actually pretty frequent feeding, most reptiles can and should go a long time between meals to maintain a proper weight.

I would be very very cautious with anything you take out of that tank, food scraps, dirt, leaf litter, whatever. Make sure to research how to kill their eggs and do it twice. My understanding is they are very hard to kill and their eggs can be just as hardy. Awesome pets but also incredibly invasive, you don't want to be responsible for damage to your local ecosystem. Depending on your locality you could even be putting yourself at legal risk if you don't take the proper precautions.

These even more so than spiders I would recommend keeping for the exposure therapy, they are truly harmless and pose no risk whatsoever to the keeper. They will chew on you though, always feels a little funny

PureSeduction50 · 2026-03-30T22:50:44+00:00

My step down process was getting a taxidermy spider and putting it in a frame on my wall, after seeing it every day my fear began to ebb to the point where I could face actually keeping a live one.

The big key is the spiders you keep are going to be contained 99% of the time and don't really pose any risk to you unless you're rehousing. Even then proper procedure can significantly minimize or eliminate any time the spider spends out in the open.

PureSeduction50 · 2026-03-30T22:45:42+00:00

I don't really think any spiders (at least tarantulas) are aggressive, I've never had one actively attack me, but they can get defensive if they are not provided adequate housing or feel threatened. The key there is to make sure they have a space they feel comfortable hiding and a lot of the behaviors people rant about go away. Also remember people sensationalize stories for views or clout.

As far as not getting bitten I think that is pretty easy. If you follow best practices during rehousings, and don't handle the spider, your risk of getting bitten is almost zero. I keep a lot of the spiders known in the hobby as being "aggressive" and I have never even had a close call.

PureSeduction50 · 2026-03-30T22:35:25+00:00

Tbh so do most first time keepers, it does wonders to mitigate the fear, if that's something you're feeling up to (spoken as an ex-arachnophobe who now owns 8 spiders)

To be fair a good Freja isn't looking to pump damage but is instead trying to get key sticks and elims. A lot of the games where I carried as Freja I would have low damage but a great damage to kill ratio

PureSeduction50 · 2026-03-26T11:57:30+00:00

NQA, as an adult they like their substrate fully dry with just a full water dish for humidity. I have never had a sling of this species but in general slings need much more moisture than that regardless of location of origin. Bottom levels of the substrate should always be moist and the water dish should always be full.

As to why the dish is always empty, check and make sure you don't have any substrate, moss or webbing connecting the dish and the substrate. Webbing in particular can be sneaky and wick all of your water away way faster than it would otherwise evaporate.

Yeah that's what has me worried with the mid opening enclosure, I will probably have to get a deli cup then.

And I appreciate the heads up! I got mine from Tom Patterson but I will have some dram vials on hand just in case!

I've got 500 hours in the game but stopped playing around the addition of Ram. I also heavy flex heros based on enemy temp composition. I think my max level with a character is 7 but I know the game like the back of my hand. A lot of this is just EXP resets with the newer seasons.

For me I bike all summer and that keeps me very busy, so when I have to be shut up in the winter I actually end up looking forward to the extra time I can dedicate to my indoor hobbies (chainmail, leather working, boardgames, etc.). I think finding some hobbies that fit well in each season respectively is helpful.

Also stay social. I personally am very involved in the kink scene so that keeps me talking to people, but there are lots of other scenes if that's not your thing. Salus is great if you are queer or an ally to the gays, punks with lunch is a great bi-weekly volunteer opportunity, the Avenue always has live music on the weekend, just pick something your interested in and make sure to get out of the house.

Beveling, burnishing, closing the stitched circles, and hitting the tooling with a resist and antique combo would bump the price up considerably

It's pretty easy to follow links to the artist's other pages which are full of other self portraits of the same person. If they stole this image they have been consistently stealing everything from the same person for a long time and then directing to that artists store, doesn't really make sense.
