the only other T i have is a 0.5" brachypelma albopilosum and i found a decent sized avic for sale so is it a good beginner T
cool thanksThey are for the most part, would I recommend them as a second tarantula, if it's still in the sling stage, no, but if it is a juvenile, then yes.
What species is the Avicularia - this really is important, some Avics are more susceptible to poor husbandry, others more forgiving, you want to offer a tall arboreal set-up, appropriately sized of course, a piece of cork bark leant against the side of the enclosure, also some fake plants around the top of the enclosure for anchor points, these are essential for Avicularia spp. dry substrate with a water dish and plenty of ventilation.the only other T i have is a 0.5" brachypelma albopilosum and i found a decent sized avic for sale so is it a good beginner T
This is interesting, which species have you found more delicate? I've raised several localities, one no more hardy than the other.What species is the Avicularia - this really is important, some Avics are more susceptible to poor husbandry, others more forgiving,
its a pink toe i thought that avicularia avicularia was the scientific name. guess google was wrongWhat species is the Avicularia - this really is important, some Avics are more susceptible to poor husbandry, others more forgiving, you want to offer a tall arboreal set-up, appropriately sized of course, a piece of cork bark leant against the side of the enclosure, also some fake plants around the top of the enclosure for anchor points, these are essential for Avicularia spp. dry substrate with a water dish and plenty of ventilation.
There are numerous species and localities called Pink Toe. A.a. is but one species of "Pink Toe". Think of Pink Toe the equivalent of Poison Dart Frogits a pink toe i thought that avicularia avicularia was the scientific name. guess google was wrong
look i know im about to be shunned for saying this but i have no idea pets mart doesnt have its scientific name on the label. i know im not supposed to buy from them but i dont have the kind of money to buy all my Ts online and i figure its saving the T as well so i decided i wanted to buy itThere are numerous species and localities called Pink Toe.

Sorry, the sentence did not mean to single out any one spp. - all Avics are susceptible to poor husbandry is what was meant. I did have more success with an Avic. avic, over a C. versicolour, is the only two I have kept, the Versi died through a wet molt.This is interesting, which species have you found more delicate?

im not looking to breed any i just want oneSorry, the sentence did not mean to single out any one spp. - all Avics are susceptible to poor husbandry is what was meant.
Disposition-wise, A. metallica (which is really a morphotype, not its own species) has the best disposition IME. The smallest is A. minatrix, they are flighty though.im not looking to breed any i just want one
My first T was a 0.5" B. albo, second T was an A. avic and I got two C. versicolors soon after, along with other sp. As long as you have researched their care (I don't have links saved to the avic threads by @viper69 and @Venom1080, but they are loaded with info on proper avic care) then I'd say get one, even a sling. Yes, slings have a more narrow husbandry needs, but they are still easy to care for. They are awesome Ts and really simple to care for as long as you know what you're doing.the only other T i have is a 0.5" brachypelma albopilosum and i found a decent sized avic for sale so is it a good beginner T
Don't mean to be rude. But if people could stop tagging me for that, it'd be great.My first T was a 0.5" B. albo, second T was an A. avic and I got two C. versicolors soon after, along with other sp.

I would say, if you haven't already, read the threads I mentioned. I'll look for links to post here for you, but someone else may beat me to it.
