I will surely do that, there are a few I have to upload now. My Avic collection is growing fast, so will surely do it.

That is exciting. I wouldn't mind having a few more avics myself! They are super cute.

That's perfect, no problem in that. The time there is an issue is with mites, so again its okay to use.

Can any one tell me what kind she is? She was just labeled pink toe at the petco here.

Hi Ryan.
Nice T you have there !

 

[ryan johnson]

Thank you I'm really likening her too!

Ok so I had a question about the humidity. How do I keep it good? How much do I spray and how often?

 

[Martin Oosthuysen]

Its best to use a temp and humidity meter, I'd say around 75-85,for avics. Use a water dish for larger ones add pebbles to overcome possible drowning, smaller ones mist once each 2nd day keep substrate slightly misted. Also spray away from the T, avoid the same side or on the T.

How often do I feed an adolescent?

 

[Martin Oosthuysen]

I'd say once a week, but only really worry when the abdomen shrinks this shows signs of dehydration. Also never feed it anything larger than its abdomen, well that what I believe in and it works for me.
