[QUOTE="cutieshelbers, post: 205916, member: 38065"] So to preface, I got my a. avicularia on 9/23 of this year and it ate for the first time that night. Since then it has been refusing food, which led me to think it was going to molt. It still hasn’t molted and is still refusing food. I have it in a 12x12x12 exoterra (the spider is still pretty small). I did research before getting the spider and knew cross ventilation was important but I couldn’t find any enclosures that had any. So I started out keeping humidity up while I was expecting it to molt, but now it’s been 2 months with no molt and still no eating. I stopped misting the enclosure because I kept seeing arguments online about keeping a high humidity or keeping it dry. I’m so confused on what to do. Obviously this is my first T. The first day it ate a cricket and I’ve been trying to get it to eat small Dubia roaches. Also I’ve noticed that it hasn’t webbed at all even though I have a bunch of fake plants up high for it. When I first got it, it wasn’t very active - again making me think it was going to molt- but now it’s very active at night and even sometimes during the day. Let me know if you have any idea on what’s going on and if I need to do something different. [/QUOTE]
