I have decided to stop using AMAC containers for arboreal T's. I recently lost my first T when an Avic had a bad molt (occurred when I was out of town for a few days). The dead sling was still attached to its molt when I returned. Even if I had returned in time, I would have needed to tear the whole container contents apart to access this T in the spot where it made home.
You break the T's web links to the substrate every time you open an AMAC. Their web links are what helps them to detect a cricket, roach, worm is present. It is time consuming to try to find ways to get food to the ones that won't leave their nest area to go search for prey. A few of my Avic slings are tending to continue with an ignorance on food and water well past their molt completion.
I placed holes in multiple locations on my AMAC's for insertion of a syringe. I have even placed holes in the top of the AMAC and used a laboratory rubber stopper for upper access with a feeder. But it is luck of the draw on whether you will have these holes in the right places to tempt them with water and food to get them back into a strong growth period.
I know I am still green on experience so I am curious on everyone's comments and opinions. I have just inserted an A. Diversipes into a cereal keeper with a gap at the top to keep web from getting attached to the lid.
