What is this conclusion based off of a couple slings that haven't decided to eat each other yet. They are not communal by any means. Chubbs has a valid point too, if you have to ask to difference between arboreal and terrestrial species you are no where near ready to attempt a communal. Avics don't get very big and will really never require 10 gallons in the first place. They can be raised up in deli cups, or you can purchase cages online or at the container store. Cross ventilation, which means holes around the perimeter of the container not just on top, is necessary as is a water source. As slings moist substrate works, but moist not wet. As adults dry or moist sub, as long as there is a lot of ventilation. Please don't try to house these together they WILL eat each other as they grow</p></blockquote><p></p>
