wc pink toe

[FADELS]

It wasn't my intention to buy a WC T, but as luck would have it that's what I got. Shes not webbing and has barely moved around in her enclosure. (She mostly stays on the glass where it opens. Will she ever adjust or is she going to die? She hasn't eaten yet but it has only been just under a week since I got her.

1. Don't worry about wild caught....pink toes are exceedingly abundant in their home range and are one of those rare exceptions where wild collecting doesn't really impact local numbers.

2. Adult avics really only web just prior to molting. But its also important to give them the tools to do so with a proper set up.

3. Being on the glass is normal, they live at elevated positions....worry if its on the ground.

4. Food is a low priority, especially if the t is plump. I only feed mine a couple times a month when they are eating, when full they will go months on end without wanting or needing food.

5. This is the most important thing...post a pic of the set up. Avics have more specific requirements than most species/genera.

Wc or not they need time to settle in. Put it somewhere warm and dark with little traffic. Resist the temptation to check on it.
Don't worry. They all settle in.

Thank you so much! I'm really relieved. I'll post a photo of the setup at a later time tonight.

Id keep a water dish on the floor as well....otherwise, commendable set up, looks pretty good.

 

[DomGom TheFather]

Nice.

Does she looks healthy from what you can see?

Looks pretty good, nothing much to worry about with the T. Don’t go down the spraying or humidifying route then your fine...

There’s just one slight problem with the mesh lid, the T can get its tarsi stuck in there and fall/damage it’s foot. Either replace the lid with a perforated acrylic sheet (pretty cheap and easy) or put lots of clutter (fake plants, vines etc.) at the top so it has something to grab onto if stuck in the sheet.

Best Avic setup from a new keeper that i've seen on here in a while.

Good job and thanks for the sigh of relief.

Added one more water dish at the bottom and I'm off to find something to replace the mesh lid with. I don't want to mess with her too much, but I don't want her little feets to get stuck in the mesh. Thank you guys so much for the help and advice, I'm really glad I found this forum!

Nice setup, good start- need water dish, maybe some more plants, but not critical. Let it get settled first.

Did the suction cup dish holder come w/the tank?

In truth Ts do die out of nowhere at times, sorta like rabbits. Seems fine to me, I wouldn't be worried yet.

No, I bought it thinking it would be better for the T to get water (there's a dish in the suction holder and ive added a second dish on the ground) seeing as though Avics don't really come to the ground

Where did you buy it? I've never seen this before.

I think I found it on Amazon! Am I allowed to link it here?

PM me. Not sure you can.

PM me. Not sure you can.

I've also seen them in the herp supplies section of our local big box pet stores (PetSmart or petco, can't recall which) - at exorbitant prices of course, along with a faux stone version called a "feeding ledge" that uses magnets (plate outside the tank) instead of suction cups. FYI if you're looking for instant gratification and/or other options.

I’ve seen a magnet one. Haven’t seen these in ours, but ours is small. They weren’t selling cricket chow till I told them to sell it!

@Ungoliant has a really cool water dish!

For my Avics, I use these Command soap dishes from Walmart. (You just need to plug the drain hole.) Once mounted, you can slide the dish up and out to clean it.

I like that they have a gentle slope, allowing the Avic to drink from multiple angles.

I didnt want to make a new post about this so hopefully people see this new comment! My Pink toe has still not eaten nor webbed up her enclosure at all. I'm worried shes sick. She will slowly grab a superworm from me, try to bite it as if she is starving, but she always drops it and im worried its because she just sits on the glass and can't hold herself up well when trying to eat. I'm not really sure. I know everyone said the enclosure is good but I think the only things she likes about it are the glass and suction cup water thing that I catch her drinking out of at 3am every single night

Did you tried different feeders? like roaches etc?

And the last question, wich is you room temp? My pulchra did the same in my old house because the house was very cold. She refuses food until she was a little bit warmer.
