I’d look into replacing the screen with acrylic or something because that’s an arboreal spider .. claws get stuck in it and if loses a leg or is a Goner . I’m in the process replacing any screen lids I have.

yeah I guess I overlooked that detail , real shame no exo terra comes with plexiglass ventilation.. .. no wonder I don’t have any.

I kept Avics for years and years in enclosures with top-only ventilation, no issues.
That goes for raising tiny spiderlings, all the way to adults. Avic avic, versicolor. This started way before that was a board with people telling me it doesn't work.

Maybe there's an avic that would die or decline without it...but nothing that I've kept. Maybe it yields some extra cushion for otherwise poor husbandry practices.
In fact I've never cross-ventilated anything, including pokies.


I used to type on this one quite a bit...so I'll leave it there.

exo terras dont need it, they provide excellent air movement due to the ventilation at the bottom of the doors.
I meant I’ve seen people replace that screen with plexi , can’t tarantula claws still get stuck ? I’ve not had an exo terro yet so I don’t know from experience. I’ll probably get one eventually.
I thought the ops enclosure was that style but turned sideways or something it’s not only has top ventilation.
