Pink toe help

[EnterGamerTag365]

I am a new owner to a pink toe Ive only had it for a few days and all it does is sit on the side of the cage and do nothing. I need tips to take care of this and I don’t know if I’m doing anything wrong with the cage

1. The enclosure should be kept DRY.

2. The wood should be larger, reaching near the top.

3. The plants should be off the ground (the ground should be clear if clutter) and surrounding the top of the wood.

4. Ventilation is critical. It looks like you have a bugarium with top only ventilation. This does nothing to promote air flow and should not be used for Avics.

Thank you I’ll get a better cage do you have any suggestions on what cage to buy with links?

Exo-terra... would something like this be better

Exo terras do work just fine. You could also use a sterilite container or tub as well. Its my preference, as i prefer not to spend that much on enclosures.

The beauty of sterilite is that ventilation is, easily drilled out in any manner you see fit...the downside is they arent great display enclosures like the glass ones.

There's nothing with your T's position in that container. I strongly suggest you read up on Ts, esp this species or it may die.

Keep in mind that even with an ideal setup, a healthy Avic will spend most of its time doing nothing. (That's not to say that you shouldn't make the changes recommended above; I'm just managing expectations with regard to its behavior.)

As said, thats pretty much what a healthy tarantula does. My G porteri has been sitting on the exact same spot the last year
