Just thought I'd introduce myself and say hi as a new member. After being fascinated with tarantulas for around 10 years (yet no so much with true spiders... Weird huh?) I am FINALLY going to be getting my first T next week, an A.Avicularia! I'm soooo excited it's unreal! I have done my homework and have been reading the Tarantula bible (The Tarantulas Keeper Guide) but any advice on this species feel free to make your input.

Welcome Naseem!
I too am a spidey noob. I also am not a true spider fan. Tarantulas are big a cuddily to me. trues....not so much.

Hey there and welcome to the group! (And the addiction) All I can say about your A. avic is that ventilation is key with this species!

Thanks! Yeah I've just got one of those Exo Terra enclosures through the post. It's got a screen top lid, ventilation holes at the front and 3 small ones at the back, plenty of ventilation :)

I kept my A. avic in the same style ExoTerra and she did great in there! This is such a neat species. Enjoy her! :)

This is it's final setup, I think it looks pretty cool. Think I'll upgrade the size though eventually
