It will all be metric in time....it just makes more sense from a fabrication/engineering standpoint = P. For the op any amount of standing water for a tiny sling is fine.....if it cannot drown in it...I doubt they even drown considering how the booklung is laid out...more likely exustion from fighting surface tension? IKD really as Ive only misted for a long time now with no issues.
Thankfully we have the internet now where truth prevails at last!
The more I think about it the more I relize it won't be a problem. The T's are 1,5 cm in legspan. The caps are 3cm in diameter. If the T falls into it and floats right in the middle it's gonna be 0,75mm (1/32inch) of water between it and the edges. If they die from exhaustion in that, I'm gonna rule it as suicide.
Huh, the more you know. But I can't help thinking that when you finally got it out, it was like: "FINALLY! There you are!! WHERE the F*** have you been??" :laugh:
Quite honestly, just learning now how to use the backspace key doesn't get your promoted, it gets you demoted big time for such extreme tardiness. :biggrin:
Easily, man up!
Aww, did you have to? Couldn't you have let him bask in the glory of his new trick for a while longer before you crushed him with the cold harsh truth?
I'd rather someone hate me for telling them the truth, than like me because of a lie.Aww, did you have to? Couldn't you have let him bask in the glory of his new trick for a while longer before you crushed him with the cold harsh truth?
In roughly 24 hours we have gone from water dishes to metric vs imperial, from forum use 101 and flying cars, to critizising the American educational system and scuba diving T's, back to water dishes, and finally we have ventured into the domain of philosophy and inspirational life quotes.
Those are so much better looking than bright yellow bottlecaps. And I would greatly appreciate that link.U can buy sling water dishes for really cheap they come in three or five packs.
They are pretty cheap (I think like 25-50 cents each)... I'll include a link to where I got mine when I can find the receipt.

A t floating on the surface tension is basic science and takes ZERO effort from the t....exhaustion is basically impossible IMO...slings naturally float, and I have yet to see a spider of any kind atop the water that had an issue moving upon its surface.
Woah, calm down there lol. It was a palladium I built back in 2010 with an ato, the float switch failed and dumped the Rez into the display. As for surface tension, it is powerful enough to support the weight of some critters....and also enough to hold or cling with equal force depending on the situation. Say when the larger ventral regions make contact with the surface and cling to the tiny t? T uses the last of its reserves getting to a moist spot can't get out (hypothetically and from ancinodetal observation). Not a healthy sling, "T making a last ditch effort on its way out". As in dying on the water dish, may of been able to move off of it, but on other notes would not of mattered regardless of what weighed it down be it exhaustion from being clung to the shallow water dish it collapsed into or constipation ( I'm kidding).
Ah. I think you mean thespidershop.co.uk. Great store, I shop there a lot. The drawback is that while the dishes themselves only cost a buck and half, the shipping is gonna cost allmost $20. Still not that much. But I consider the shipping too expensive when the value of the goods are so low. Especially when a bottlecap does the same job.Ok... So I bought these from "tarantula shoppe UK" but now I remember it was kind of a pain in the ass to order from them because I'm in the US and the bc the post office had some weird issue with the weight of the parcel. But they are awesome little dishes and they def look better than bottle caps and such!
Ah yes, the spider shop UK, my bad... I got it with a bunch of other stuff... I wouldn't recommend just buying the dishes alone. Well now u know lolAh. I think you mean thespidershop.co.uk.

But thanks anyway.
