[QUOTE="Poec54, post: 38857, member: 3524"] No, he's not an expert, or he'd know his advice would kill most people's Avics. If you live in a semi-arid region or desert, and use screen tops, his advice many work. A lot of people give advice online and write care sheets, and both are notorious for dispensing questionable advice. I've seen many 'My Dead Avic' threads and the common denominator is insufficient ventilation and too much moisture. What people fail to understand is that breezes quickly dry out the trees in the tropics. Avics are used to regular air movement. Put them in a moist stuffy cage and usually they die. Same thing for epiphytic plants like grey-leaf Tillandsias; put them in a pot of top soil and keep them moist and see how long they take to rot. The way to provide humidity for Avics is with a water bowl. I have 10 species of Avics that I keep that way. I used to give them slightly moist substrate and had too many losses. Once I switched to dry sub and added airholes, my Avics have done fine. The reference s many threads and posts on the Arachnoboards, it works. [/QUOTE]
