My avic molted yesterday afternoon. I was hoping he'd hop off and hide when he was done but he's been munching away at it so I'll guess I'll be getting the leftovers



still waiting for my chaco(first T) to molt for the first time

heh, your on a roll lately :p How big is the little guy?

Funny since I just ordered two avic slings, our collections seem to be shaping up to be similar between the avics and fasciatum :p (was even thinking about getting a chaco until I ordered the fasciatum). Are those the only three t's you have?

It was an inch before the molt and I haven't measured it yet.

I also have my annoying "spider of mystery"

Oh thats right, I had seen that thread before when I was looking for fasciatum pics.

I like the OBT's, relatively cheap too (I can order one for $20). I just ordered two avic slings so that will probably be it until next spring when shipping resumes.

I came home yesterday and Skittles had died.

He was curled. I gave him an IV just incase but he was still the same this morning.

Oh that sucks :( I'm hoping that I don't run into any problems with the two 1/2 inchers that I'm getting. How long before we I can stop worrying about them just dying on me for no aparent reason? (like until what size?)

Curious, what was the ventilation in your enclosure like?

I drilled a bunch of holes in the lid with a rotary tool so it should have been enough.

I guess next time I'll get one that's bigger.

I hope mine don't meet the same fate. I'll try drilling on the sides as well I guess. I ordered 1/2 inch because 1, they were $5 Canadian, and also 2, that was the only size he has right now. *crosses fingers*
