Oh. Why was I thinking they were arboreal? Thanks!
Yes it would be. I keep many Avics in AMAC boxes. You could also keep one in a 32 oz deli cup depending upon the size. I find inverted is easier for most, but not all things (like cleaning).
Did I drill my holes wrong? Do I need them on each side? I was just thinking about all the times in here I read, "not enough ventilation"Yes it would be. I keep many Avics in AMAC boxes.

I typically drill 3 holes along the perimeter of each top side. I find that helps out considerably when an Avic forms a canopy, molts. Sometimes the canopy will allow you to pool water for a molted T, which is critical. They don't always go down to drink from a water dish, esp after a molt.

You don't need them on the side. I do that for my own reasons.
Ok, but this looks good to you? Thank you for your help viper.
Yes it does. I also drill holes on the top as I mentioned above, not needed per se, but very helpful.
Will do!
Went ahead and added eight holes on top and six holes on each previously undrilled side.
Thanks! I've never worked with an aborial species, but I'd love to try. Want to be succesful though, so I'm learning all I can from you guys.I agree. Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens will adapt to either setup. If there are many anchorpoints for webbing they will create their own funnels and hides.
That enclosure looks pretty sweet for an Avic
That looks very good. The only thing I would change, is use cork bark instead of other wood because it is mold resistant. Otherwise it looks great!
