I've had Yeva (A.avic) for 2 weeks.
She/he has a DLS of 2 inches. I keep her in the same room and area with my 2 other Ts. She has yet to web, and she only ever hangs out on the walls of her enclosure. I have her in a deli container (slightly bigger than a 32 oz) with many small holes (made with a nail and a toothpic) for ventilation on the sides and the lid. She is also provided a water dish, vertical cork bark, and some plastic foliage. (Sorry for a lack of a photo. My camera is misbehaving...)
All has seemed fine...BUT I went in the T room to turn the space heater off (no central heat...one heck of a cold day in TN too), and Yeva was on the walls and had only 2 of her legs slightly curled under, which was pretty alarming...The room was probably 80ish degrees..
I lightly misted the opposite side of her enclosure, and sure enough, she is now hanging out on the misted wall!
Is misting something I should be doing regularly? As I stated above, she always has a full water dish. Part of the sub is a little damp because of spilled water.
