Question about shipping Avicularia

[kevinlowl]

Do I pack Avicularias the same way I pack other species, with moist paper towel? Wouldn't a moist and stuffy environment like that kill it?

What about desert species?

To my understanding, it wouldn’t be in the vial/container long enough to the point where it be effected.

@cold blood @KezyGLA could answer it more definitely

It will be fine for shipping. Dont over-do the dampness though.....

A rule of thumb as well....a litte damper in hot conditions, drier in cold shipping situations.

For slings I pack them in straws, secured in a vial.

I dont dampen the tissue in winter. It locks the cold in.

When I sent off my MM A. variegata and juvie C. versicolor I left the tissue dry. Both made it fine.

No- I packed Avics like that, no deaths.

How do you get slings into straws

You suck them up like soda.

I'd love to consider that you live in Southeast Asia, where the weather is completely different than UK or northern U.S, so a little of moisture wouldn't harm at all, IMO.

Clearly, as others said, everything depends about the 'parcel-time' but still
