[QUOTE="Dustin Amack, post: 124077, member: 27342"] I have a question/concern regarding my 5" unsexed A. metallica. I have read that this species does'nt make much of a web (mine has not). Lately this T spends most of its time on the substrate instead of high on its cork bark. It has been a full week since it last chose to eat and seems very lethargic. After reading about dehydration from Tom M. I decided to put it in an ICU. After an afternoon in ICU the T seemed to bounce back and become more active once again. Now today it again denyed a fat dubia and is at the bottom of its enclosure. Is this normal pre mlt behavior for a large Avic? I have several water options in various location within the enclosure available for it. All of my other avics web and molt within thier webbing.. any advice helps. Thank you! [/QUOTE]
