[QUOTE="hopeful_tarantula, post: 48004, member: 2537"] [COLOR=rgb(179, 0, 179)]Hi there, Well as the title says, I received my first ever A. versicolour species as a slightly early and unexpected birthday present. It's a lovely little thing and I've named "her" Trixie-Martini lol. I do have a few questions about Trixie though... 1) I'm guessing that Martiniquez Pink Toe is the more common name for Avicularia avicularia? 2) Regarding the housing. Trixie's currently in a tall(ish) deli cup that has some sort of soil (guessing Coir, but could be wrong), some tiny pieces of ever green tree and (for some extremely strange reason) a Magnum ice cream lolly stick...which I will be taking out soon. My concern is though with the soil, as it's pretty much drenched and it has caused a lot of condensation which has "steamed" up the cup itself, so I can barely see the T inside. Should I try to rehouse her into a new cup with some drier Coir, or is the humidity right for Trixie like that? 3) How do I feed crickets to Trixie as she has put webbing up on the lid of the cup and spends most of the time up there? If I open the cup, she's going to make a run for it! 4) Instead of the Magnum stick and evergreen tree pieces, what do I need in there? 5) How can I put a bowl of water in the cup, as Trixie is arboreal? I know these seem like very newbie questions, but as Trixie is my first arboreal T, I want to make sure I have things right from the start. Trixie is gorgeous and I love the metallic blue sheen s/he has. Many thanks in advance. Julia xx[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
