Avicularia Avicularia Juvenile Help

[mrpettit]

Hi
I have a juvenile Avicularia Avicularia, and the past 3 days it has been on the ground(substrate) or very close to the bottom of the log in his enclosure. Is this normal? Thought they liked being up high. I've tried feed with no response. Humidity is around 75%-80% with a temperatures in the low to mid 70s (F) . Any info and help would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

It’s 6” y’all by 4.5” wide. I’ve got holes drilled across the top half on the front and back for goo cross ventilation. I had to scramble and use a zip lock container because my enclosure delivery was and still is delayed.

And pictures of the avic as well if possible? Enclosure looks OK as like you say you have good cross ventilation and you have something for it to climb on and a water dish if you have some plastic plant in there would be good for it to web up and hide amougst -
Has it moulted recently?

I just got it 2 weeks ago and so I don’t know when the last time it molted. And of course it’s back up on the log. I’ll definitely get some greenery in there. I guess I could just be over reacting. I’m new to the world of Tarantulas.

In this picture it looks fine to me
No harm in worrying as we all want to do the best for our tarantulas and its always good to ask for help or advice if you ever need it
Once it has some greenery in there it may feel more secure and start webbing up and settling in, keep its water dish full and you should be good to go
