Not exactly. I dont use that kind anymore unless there is around a thousand slings. Now i just use one deli cup with a coffee filter draped over the cup, then the lid put on to keep the filter in place like a hammock. I put water in the bottom of the cup before placing the filter in. Once the slings hit 1st instar i take the water out, place in slightly moist coco fiber, and put the slings on it. Kinda easier and quicker than the larger version.

I feel like I've seen Hati slings for sale online, or at least heard people say they've bought them at shows here in the US before. Not trying to doubt you, just surprised if this is the first sac truly bred here. For instance, both New England Reptile Shop and Paul Becker have/had them for sale not too long ago. Maybe they were import sacs then I'm guessing? Congrats though man, they are beautiful! I have a C. Schioedtei sub (about 4" now), and she if anything, is more prone to hide in her burrow then charging out of her hole.
