It is super sweet and crawled around on my hand during the rehouse. I'm so in love.
I want one now...
Do you know how to care for it? Many new Avic owners KILL their Ts because they have no idea what they are doing for Avics due to lack of research.My roommate impulsively bought me an avicularia avicularia while we were at petsmart today. I am so excited and happy to have my second T/first arboreal.
I have done some research since getting home with it. I know cross ventilation is key and not to mist, keep it relatively dry.
That is its new home. I did ventilation holes all around the sides and four in the top. Is that not enough? Should I do more?
Would you mind sending the link to it? I'd greatly appreciate it.
I would do at least 2-3 rows around the entire side, 4 on top seems fine.

Okay I added another row of holes, might do another later on. And sorry I didn't see that I'm on my phone and still relatively new to the site

Omg thank you lol magic
Just read that post. Thanks a lot. I've done most of that, and corrected what I didn't do (primarily added more ventilation holes). This is my first arboreal and I'm still very new to the hobby. Any advice is much appreciated. I hope to give this beauty a long, happy life.

There are four holes on top still and the water dish is on the other side.
This may work. I prefer more holes vertical and across-‘remember air isn’t only at the top of a canopy
I'll probably add some along the sides as well tomorrow before work just to play it safe. I knew a bit about them before I got one (not in depth though) and had heard they can be a bit finicky since there's so much back and forth on their husbandry. But I'm going to do my best, cause this one is absolutely gorgeous and such a sweetheart. I will update the final enclosure once it's doneThis may work.

also for when it gets bigger what enclosure would you suggest?

Yeah I meant just for people starting out that research online and find things that don't match lol but thank you, I have now put vertical holes down the sides. I did three down in four areas.
That will work, make sure the holes aren't too large for an escape. Check carapace size against the holes' size.
Already done! She's a pretty big T (much larger than my g pulchra sling) so the holes should be small enough to prevent escape.
