Message: <blockquote data-quote="Bast" data-source="post: 11843" data-attributes="member: 379">Yeah I definitely don't see any evidence of dks in your avic, no spastic movements or anything; just looks like she keeps loosing her grip while she's walking.I'd definitely be interested in knowing whatever you find out about the parasites.  Always love learning, and I find parasites (even though they're pretty horrible) fascinating.  Definitely keep me posted on anything you do find out.  I hope this doesn't end up being the case with your T, she's gorgeous...and I'd love some future babies, if/when you do breed her <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />Our A.avic was kept in a 10 galleon tank with no humidity at all, not even a water dish; just a bowl of cricket gel.  She was kept like this for over four months with the previous owner.   I didn't really notice any real behaviour changes once we started keeping her properly, other than she spent a ton of time at the water bowl when we first got her, and she's much 'fatter' now than she was then.   Karina does move around quite a bit as well, but I've never seen her fall or even lose her footing.  Not saying that humidity change could or couldn't be the issue, just thought I'd share my experience with you.  It's crazy how adaptable they are.</blockquote>
