Is it my imagination, or are these some of the messiest T's around?
My A metallica craps all over the tank. Her cork bark is littered with fecal matter in just a few days.
I hate cleaning the enclosure often since there's so much webbing, but she makes an absolute mess in no time.
Is this unusual???

Hey G_Wright is the Avic in the top PIC gravid? That has to be the biggest avic abdomen I have ever seen.

I have to get my camera out and get some PICS of my own in here, God I have been lazy lately. Oh well, Greg

No it's just fat. It was fat when I bought it I moulted not so long ago and was still pretty fat after the moult and has just gained a few more callories since then. It's not eating at the moment and has made a huge web so I'm expecting a moult anytime soon

My only Avic - pinktoe.
Very shy - it's rare I see her.
