Hey guys! I recently acquired an A. Avicularia after a wild urge to get a tarantula. I have done research on them and believe I have a good set up for it, but to be safe, wanted to show those who have experience with them.
I've only had it for a little over a week. I fed it a cricket on Sunday, which it gobbled up quickly, then fed another one on Wednesday, which it again snatched up. It has a great appetite!
A couple of days ago, I noticed it had made a small funnel web behind the fake vines I have attached to the back of its enclosure. It's spent these past 2 days chilling inside, usually having its legs poking out of the top like the picture I provided.
I attempted to measure its legspan. I estimate it's around 1.5" or so. No idea on the sex yet. I think it's too small to tell right now?
So far in its enclosure I have about 1 inch of Eco Earth substrate with some sphagnum moss covering it, a hollowed out cork bark and driftwood for some anchoring points, fake vines which are attached to the back wall, and a water dish in the front right corner that I keep full.
Any advice or critique is welcome! This is my first tarantula and I want to make sure it has everything it needs!
