Nijinsky is One Happy Avic

[bness2]

I meant to take a picture of Nijinsky, my A. avicularia, in his new home, but I am dependent on a digital camera owned by someone else in the Dept. Anyway, he seems to be very happy in his new home.

As you might recall, I was having trouble with him always staying on the lid, so I made him a new home in a 1 gallon, square, clear plastic storage container made by Rubbermaid. I put small holes in three of the sides and laid it on its side. I put potting soil all along the bottom side and put in some moss and a small plastic plant. He has made a nice little webby home using a couple of the leaves and the side of the container. He hasn't been on the lid once since moving him there.

Now all I wonder is when he is going to molt. I've had him for over a month now and he hasn't molted yet. He hasn't been eating much either. How often do 1" pinktoe slings molt? Can you tell I'm anxious for it to happen?

should be every month and a half or so, but they could miss it like a missed period, maybe shes preggy?

Now that would be a miracle is a 1" sling got pregnant. =D =D

So, assuming she/he doesn't skip a molt, I guess I may have a couple more weeks to wait.

I have three avics and they seem to be really good at molting on time.
