at least it's pooping on its cage and not on you! i've had 2 pinktoes poop on me at the last two shows i was at.... everyone thought it was so damn funny.

If it's pissing her off, just wait till she's in a different area of her enclosure then do it w/ a long swab or hemostats w/ some cloth. it'll be fine like that for quite a while... it just doesn't look really nice/.

Avics have a very different idea of decoration than we do....Sometimes they shoot poop at you in defense, but sometimes they just sling it everywhere. I don't think it would cause too many problems, but it sure doesn't look very appealing.

avics are really bad poopers for a spider they sure do have a fast metabolism.
