Welcome I've had 3 AvicAvics
One 3in sling currently. This has been the mist temperamental of them all. It appears to take extra long for them to settle into their homes and start webbing making it home. The first one I kept changing the enclosure size and it appeared very upset depressed even and then it died. Sigh. The senior female I got that was a surrender of a collector retiring. She didn't settle in for 5 months before she webbed and molted. And seemed to decline due to age. She also seemed to sulk when I made changes.
As for size. My little one has settled into its 5x7 webbing nicely and eating really well showing its comfort, to me.
I have a large arboreal zilla prorated prepared (passed down from senior) it'll be 6 months to a year before I'll move it. When is about 5 inches. Well good luck
