[QUOTE="Denny Dee, post: 49317, member: 1393"] Hi Charlotte, There is a lot of confusion surrounding the care of avics. The set ups that I have seen to deliver the best results are to use an appropriate sized arboreal enclosure. Make sure there are vents for decent air circulation. Use cork bark to allow the spider to climb freely. The substrate should be cocoa fiber. I always mix in a 30% mix of vermiculite. They need to be mixed together. This allows for better drainage and helps prevent mold. Avics should have a water dish in the tank. The dish should provide most of the humidity that the spider needs. The soil should only be moist enough to provide the appropriate humidity level for your species. Do not saturate the soil. This is the biggest mistake people make with Avics. You can also lightly mist the webbing once or twice a week. Hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
