Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ghost" data-source="post: 44347" data-attributes="member: 3461">I hate to sound like a broken record  when it comes to Avics but having plenty of cross ventilation is the key to keeping Avics healthy,if you had mould in the enclosure then it sounds like it was too wet and that you didn't have enough ventilation.I keep Avic slings in 32once deli cups with dry substrate and a small water dish for humidity I also put a few drops of water in their webbing two or three times a week this is for drinking only the water dish keeps the humidity so I don't bother with misting,for cross ventilation I make air holes in the sides starting just above substrate level and working up to the top of the enclosure,I have had success with this method and hardly ever lose any Avics slings...</blockquote>
