I don't have the coffee rating but sending one cup anywayI simply missed the top ventilation completely.

If it's any consolation, I did, too. >.<I simply missed the top ventilation completely.
I raised my A. variegata in a similar enclosure without issue, there is a vent strip at the front and another on the top. My only issue with them is that they only have one access point.
I think it can work as long as you're not wetting the substrate or misting, which you shouldn't be doing anyway. (I don't think my Exo Terras are much better, especially in side ventilation, and my Avics have done fine in them.)@cold blood sorry to disagree my friend, but these enclosures are used all over Europe for Avics without trouble.
There's enough ventilation in those enclosures (and the Exo Terras, unless you mod the lids) for the sub to dry out pretty quickly, while I agree on the "no misting" part, I overflow the water dishes every now and again for all of my Avics.I think it can work as long as you're not wetting the substrate or misting, which you shouldn't be doing anyway.
The ventilation is really great in these enclosures. If you would need to, it's very easy to reach certain humidity numbers in these while having great circulation of fresh air. This isn't necessary with spiders of course, but if you would need to, these enclosures are better than the exo terras with their meshed tops.I think it can work as long as you're not wetting the substrate or misting, which you shouldn't be doing anyway.

Imo moss is not necessary. It will only be a hiding place for feeders. A large waterdish is all that is needed, humidity-wise.Looks fine to me, just don't oversaturate the enclosure with water or it'll get stuffy in there which is a big no no for Avics. Keep the sub dry with a full water dish, maybe wet a pile of sphagnum moss as well if you want.
Purely personal touch but I like it. I spread it thin and press it down so no feeders can crawl into it and lightly water it.Imo moss is not necessary. It will only be a hiding place for feeders. A large waterdish is all that is needed, humidity-wise.
