Is this ventilation ideal for my Avicularia juruensis?

[Guywholikestarantulas]

I just got this Avicularia Juruensis yesterday and was wondering if I could get some opinions on the cross ventilation I added to this enclosure alongside the ventilation on top added by the pet store. I know ventilation is very important for this species and wanna make sure I give my sling what it needs, I have done a lot of research on this species but don't see a whole lot of images of specifically ventilation and thought it would be as good idea to ask people who have owned the species before.

My main questions are:

1. Are there enough holes for the size of this enclosure to create ideal cross-ventilation for this species?

2. Are the holes on top going to create too much ventilation, release too much humidity for a sling, or create a similar problem with this species?

For reference, I made those holes with a push pin to get an idea of the size.

For some more information on the tarantula, I got them to eat for the first time very quickly today, they are about 1 inch, and I have seen them move around the top of their enclosure multiple times. I don't see any health problems which is also a good sign. They have also started webbing up their enclosure so I don't see any large signs of stress from them. This is my first Arboreal species so I don't know as much about these little guys. Appreciate the help in advance!

The holes look great, really no such thing as too much ventilation, as humidity is NOT a concern. If that were my set up, I'd lose the moss, & add a water dish (like the cap to a water bottle, or a tattoo ink well.

1. Seems fine
2. Not sure your concern here

Thanks for the advice! I was thinking about doing that as well, just didn't have time to go out to the store and get a bottle today, ( I also thought it was odd I didn't have any bottle caps).

there is a such thing as too much ventilation....I wouldn't use a lid that ventilated personally, its just unnecessary. Pop 5-7 holes in a lid and thats all you need (on the lid).

Thanks for posting. I am getting my first Avic this week, my first aboreal. It’s an Avic Juruensis too. I’m sat studying enclosures. Good luck to your and your T.

See, now I would think it odd to have caps without the bottles, unless you're one of those guys that bif em' across the room at some target upon opening them, & seldom pick them up...

Post your setup BEFORE you buy Avic in the cage forum

Personally I’d go with the tattoo ink cup. The moss will only serve as feeder hiding places.

Did you get a water bowl in there yet? Hows it working out?
