Club Avicularia/Avics

[ryan johnson]

I made a new terriaum and I want to split it into two pieces, and get two more t's. What do you guys think?

 

[Martin Oosthuysen]

Hello
Personally I would just use separate ones, but that's preference. When housing smaller specimens like slings, it doesn't need much space like the Avics. I use small pill bottles or deli cups, they seem to enjoy the snug fit.

 

[ryan johnson]

Should I transfer my avic into the bigger one?

 

[Martin Oosthuysen]

Pink toes use height not floor space, I will post pics later or tomorrow.

 

[ryan johnson]

Ok. But for now could I place her in the bigger one I posted or keep her in the critter cage

 

[ryan johnson]

And what do I keep the food for my t in?

 

[Martin Oosthuysen]

Just normal plastic tubs if its crickets, I feed my crickets carrots.

 

[ryan johnson]

Really carrots?? What else do they eat? Do the plastic tubs need holes for air?

 

[Martin Oosthuysen]

They love the carrots, I do have air vents, I use a soldering iron to make them. You can even feed them apple, but I prefer the carrots.

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

Surprisingly, I keep my Avic slings reasonably dry and mist maybe once a week or once every 2 weeks.
The juvies and adults, I keep bone dry with a waterbowl. Because of the lower humidity, I only have one vent in the lid. I did flood the females enclosure when she was ready to drop, but then stopped watering.
The female eventually hatched out the sac, so had an enclosure full of 2nd instars. No moulting problems at all either.

Isn't it Dependant on the area you yourself are situated ? Like say Free state compared to Gauteng, climate difference ? You'd have to actually monitor the Temperature and humidity, since we are not all from the same locations or areas.

 

[Ceratogyrus]

It could depend. My Avics drop down to around 15 degrees Celsius in winter with low humidity. Once again, many different ways to do things in this great hobby.

 

[Martin Oosthuysen]

Yes lucky for that, I totally agree.

 

[ryan johnson]

So my room stays about 60 degrease most of the time... Is that bad for my avic?

 

[Martin Oosthuysen]

60 degrees Fahrenheit ?

 

[ryan johnson]

Yes

 

[Martin Oosthuysen]

That's 15.5 degrees Celsius, which is what has been said is okay. Personally I keep them between 23-28,but that's preference. Whichever works for you.

 

[ryan johnson]

And her cage stays about 65 degrease. And sometimes goes up to 70.

 

[Martin Oosthuysen]

Hello
My highest is 28 degrees Celsius,that's 82.4 degrees Fahrenheit.

 

[ryan johnson]

Hey

So I guess what I'm asking is will she be okay in my temperatures?
