[QUOTE="Whitelightning777, post: 129793, member: 26980"] Avics are dry spiders. They DO need a large water dish that is checked at least daily and kept full. Humidity probably shouldn't go over 60%. Strictly my opinion, but invest in a DIGITAL humidity gauge to make sure excessive humidity doesn't occur. I keep my Versicolor that way. If you catch your Avic on the ground, try gently guiding it into a water dish. If it's dehydrated, it'll do a face plant and you just saved it's life. C versicolor used to be classified as an avic but not anymore. I find mine likes it at 80 degrees. In general, if your temps start with a 6 or a 9, they aren't probably ideal. Of course, not all tarantulas require gauges. Some are practically bullet proof with husbandry and room temps are fine. Avics don't fall into that catagory especially slings. Exo Terra cages are cross ventilated, at least the tall ones are. There are vents at the bottom and a screen at the top. Air flows that way. The general quality of those cages is very good and they're a great choice for arboreal tarantulas. [ATTACH=full]29548[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
