[QUOTE="Konstantin, post: 172569, member: 30996"] Hi Welcome to the forum. You did the right thing joining. Tarantulas are not the most active of animals.Its normal for them to just sit and do nothing. Having said that. It takes a while for a spider to settle in it's new home.The bigger the spider the longer it takes. Avicularia sp have a little more specific care and housing needs for their well being. The most important is well ventilated enclosure.You want enclosure with cross ventilation. Ventilation needs to be in place on the sides as long as on top.Top ventilation only is not sufficient . Second keep the substrate bone dry.Do not mist that much as this combined with poor ventilation is known to be proven Avic killer.You can drip some water on the web for drinking once a week just to give it another option if you have not seen it go down on the water dish but don't go crazy with it. They normally stay up high so that hide won't be needed and you can remove it.Put the greenery up arround the top end of the cork bark.Have in mind with top opening only enclosure you may end up Ripping the webbing apart every time you need to open it.Thats not ideal too Regards Konstantin [/QUOTE]
