Avic webbing ?

[SasyStace]

Is it the color that's strange or is her abdomen just swollen and kind of patchy/ragged looking?

I will have to take pictures- it's almost as if all of her is turning brown- I will try for a picture tonight and post it to you tomorrow so you can see - it looks ragged to me but I could be over reacting

Ok cool. I'm sure you're keeping her in good conditions anyway, that's really all you can do for them. They're tougher than many people believe. If you are a little light on ventilation you could increase it a bunch, that's all I did for mine.

Is there such thing as too much ventilation? I will take a picture of her enclosure as well

Not in my opinion. You just have to increase the size of the water dish, or you'll be refilling it every day

@bookac Fake cloth or silk plants are fine if you can't get plastic.

I have heard that the dye used in the leaves can be toxic to them as a result of run-off, if the leaves get wet. I don't think this has ever been proven or disproved.

I guess if that's all you can get it'll have to do. Are you guys really that limited over there as to what kinds of supplies and materials you have to use? I'm genuinely curious. Not that I'm doubting you, but it just seems a little odd to me.

Idk if these pics will help at all but here's a few shots of some Avic set-ups of mine:

Maybe I can find fake plastic plants, but I gotta keep trying, or maybe I am looking at the wrong places everytime.. We are limited for some suplies for sure, but not as I said before I was overreacting Gotta keep looking.

I have two adult A avics that do not web at all, until they molt, and then they either ignore the web or destroy it. Avics are most comfortable on walls, and will leave a thin coating of web all across the walls of an enclosure. In South America, avics are found on house walls, under eaves, in trees and inside large rolled up leaves on the ground. They're basically like large house spiders.. I've put cork slabs and tubes in Avic enclosures, and they weren't touched. I just put some fake plants for cover, which some web to, and some don't. They will use them for cover if spooked, then come right back out. They are very unique little arachnids. None of my other spiders act anything like them. I love how bold they are. Definitely the best genus of arboreals, in my opinion.

Mine likes the wall also. I have had her web the ground after pinhead crickets, the water dish, the wall, the top of the enclosure, it is comical. Just a real sweet spider.
