...after a long time this sling has left the trapdoor again.
Yes, cork bark with lots of lichens...
How often does it emerge like this? I've noticed similar types of spiders tend to pace somewhat regularly when housed in cork, I think the rubbery bendy texture makes it hard for them to scrape away
 
They go for their daily walk...
This theory is very daring. I also have "hard" wood in the enclosure, but the cork (both animals) is used.

I wouldn't use hardwood either, also too difficult to chew up, cork is probably just the easier of the 2 to occupy.

For Sason colemani (literally identical to seladonia except for colour and family, Barychelidae) I use soft, slightly rotten wood, and drill little dents in various places along the surface. I pile up the leftover sawdust where I can on the wood and they will usually occupy one of the dents and use the sawdust to construct a little silk cell with a lid in about 4 hours. Diligent and fast things for how tiny they are
