SO, I’ve had an A. avic juvie for probably a month and a half now and the spider literally does...nothing?
It’s enclose is perfect. Plenty of ventilation...vertical climbing surface...nice leafy plant up top etc. thing is, i’m not even sure if it’s eaten once since it’s been in my care. I’ve never witnessed an immediate takedown or observed it eating at all. All I’ve done as far as food goes is remove uneaten prey. The abdomen is tiny but it’s kind of a tiny T (maybe 1 3/4 to 2 in. max) and I know avics don’t always get very plump.
Another thing that’s a bit abnormal is that it doesn’t web AT ALL (but my A. metallica doesn’t either so.....)
Anyway, this spider clings to the plastic like an idiot (jk) and that’s it....
Anyone experienced anything like this with this species?
(Fun fact: this is the most bolt-y and skittish T in my care and I have a Stirmi right now....odd.)
