Hi man, nice avic.

But, let me see if I understood well... she is living free in a banana tree in your kitchen, with no enclosure? :?

I’ve thought about this myself. I’ve seen people do it with Chameleons and as long as that plant is a source for warmth, food and water they have no reason to leave. The just place a timed basking light over the tree and news paper under it for easy clean up.

I don’t know if the same applies to Ts. The males are known to wander in search of mates so I don’t if it will stay put. Keep us updated. I maybe brave enough to attempt this myself if you’re successful.

I know that Avic from somewhere?
Ok so I'm quite impressed that it is settling down, but what impresses me more is the fact you have not yet killed it after almost 2 weeks now :clap: {D .
The one we rehoused while you were here has sorted itself out quite good but I think I will have to repot the plant spider and all when it grows abit more.:rolleyes:

The is beyond interesting to me. My Avic. would be perfect for this idea of zero enclosure. Too bad my dog would lick the poor thing to death. I agree that we need more pictures. I also think we need updates and a time table. Another ? is "How do you feed it?" Crickets are not quite as lazy as your Avic.
Now that is summer in PA I have enough free range bugs in my house to feed a colony of spiders.
At any rate PLEASE let us know how this is working out.:worship:

That is really cool, I am going to try it when I move out. This reminds me of that guy who had an H. maculata living free range near his computer desk. Now that is crazy.
