Message: <blockquote data-quote="Martin Oosthuysen" data-source="post: 25125" data-attributes="member: 1070">HelloOkay let's do this in steps - try my new style enclosures - Feed pinheads not small crickets to slings, I have seen them feed more comfortably like that.- I mist every second day,and I keep the substrate damp not soaked.- I try and keep my room Temperature around 23-25(I try not to drop it below 20)on average,I suggest trying to get a thermostat.- When feeding pinheads,you can add 2-3 since they cannot harm the T at that size, also get an enclosure not too big. Please refer to my attempts on the new enclosure style. After all of this,let me just say I'm not just speaking out of I think this might work I've tried it. Also this allows beginner to have less issues with Avics,a person having them for years wouldn't care about this. I myself use these things, I have had zero Avic sling losses. The Peru purple or known as Avic sp. Peru purple,have been harder to raise but are all doing well. The one specimen I have is around 1cm maybe more max,he/she has taken pinheads with ease. Please feel free to ask anything you might feel I've left out,or missed.</blockquote>
