You've gotten great advice! Avics are a great species to keep and very interactive feeders. I have the strongest "bonds" with my Avics.
Never mist or dampen your Avics sub. Water droplets placed by pipette onto the glass of the enclosure at the same time you fill its water dish will ensure it...
Nope, mines just a little bitsy. I found it strange too, it being so small that it fasted for so long. I actually made a post about it a while ago because I was quite worried lol. Since it molted, it took an additional 3 weeks to eat, but it eats very well now.
Ohhh, it is soooo premolt. That shiny hiney is massive! My G. Pulchra sling didn't even get this big and shiny before it molted; mind you it stopped eating for 3 months prior to it finally molting. Pulchras are super weird Ts ime, and really go to the beat of their own drum, but I'd have to...
Why? Even if it's been 4 months, why would you "find it" yourself? No need. As long as you're not leaving in live feeders and have provided fresh water in a cap (and not those gel balls), you need to just leave well enough alone now. I also suggest just removing that rock completely. If the...
Based on your photo, that looks to be very abnormal. It looks stressed, in the way of its positioning. That enclosure is extremely large for your spood; it may feel too exposed and therefore stressed. There also isn't a whole lot of vertically placed foliage to offer coverage. I'd personally...
As long as your understand the responsibility you have, that's great and I wish you luck in the hobby. From now on, come here first, before you get a T (I realize this time your parents surprised you), to make sure your set up is correct. I have a son a bit younger than you and he's getting into...
I apologize for my harshness, but it's honestly frustrating the amount of people on here that kill their Avics over nothing less than lack of proper research! In your case, if you are 12, you shouldn't be solely responsible for researching proper husbandry for your pet. Your parents should be...
Very much agreed. I don't typically struggle with mold in any of my enclosures. It's almost always the darn moss. Maybe I should rethink the moss I'm using. I do feel I should have perhaps upped the ventilation in this particular case, with such a small sling. Part of it was I was just trying to...
I figured I maybe should have done that. I guess I assumed with a container so tiny, it wouldn't be necessary. The sub underneath the top layer was dry in this case, however. The mold was just on the moss. I'll put ventilation down the sides of the container from now on, like I do for my...
Thank you so much. It makes me feel better to have that secondary input. To me his abdomen looked plump too. I felt I kept him well hydrated. The mold was just starting on the moss. I wasn't sure if a small amount could hurt a sling so tiny. Thankyou for the kind words.
My 1/6" L. Parahybana sling, which I got as a freebie from TarCan may be dead. I fed him a cricket leg 2 days ago and he ate well, always has. I've always provided fresh pipette water droplets on moss as a drinking source and kept the sub dampened. I've had it about a month and a half, and...
A tad high, yah. You don't want the space between the sub and the top of the enclosure to be anymore than, 1.5X DLS. Mind you, this is a sling and a fall from that height probably wouldn't hurt it. This becomes more of a concern the bigger they get. If the cat skull is pointy, I'd remove it.
I use strictly cocofibre for all of my Ts, even tiny 1/4" slings. As long as it is tamped down well and kept moist, they don't go missing. If the coco is left loose and fluffy, then yes they can disappear, ime.
Good for you, that seems like a smart way to go. I'm sure this will be important research for them. Sorry about your widow though. I kept one years ago and she was the best.
My misunderstanding. I would definitely be separating it from your Ts. As for what it is infecting the widow, I am not too sure, but it doesn't look too good.
Those look to be mites. There are several ways to go about getting rid of them, depending on what kind of mites they are. First, you can dry out your enclosures. Second, you can introduce a different species of mites to eat the ones invading your enclosure (this point would need clarification...
