I dont like his sub, the way he keeps it, or its preperties.
Its his channel. He has some really cool videos where he goes out in the wild and find species in their natural habitat, highly recommend his content...its very good.theres better care info in threads here...humidity talk
Hi Martin, I thought it was an interesting new take on their husbandry. I was surprised to see you misting the sub, and not using water bowls, do you offer drinking opportunities bi-weekly for your smaller slings? Most on here keep this genus pretty dry, as you mentioned stuffy conditions will kill them rapidly. No evidence points to them needing extra humidity though, as long as the airflow is good and they have access to water...they do very well.
No, Avicularias do not need humidity at all. Just because their natural environment is humid does not mean they benefit from humidity in any way. You should keep them on dry substrate, any kind of substrate will do, and Seramis only makes it difficult for them to walk on, so why use it at all?
Stan Schultz talks about this in the TKG. I'm surprised more people haven't tried.
Not all of them do, also it depends on their age. There's video of Avics camping out in foliage that one can walk up to, and look down into.
Martin not too different than what is done in the USA and Canada. Interesting clay substrate, thanks for that idea.
This is how I’ve been keeping my juvie C versicolor.
I’ve actually found many individuals, of a few different species, in the wild chest height and lower.
Yes, that sub does absorb the water.
Yes, and retains it.....exactly what I don't want in my Avic enclosures.
Ahh, yeah, that's bad then!
