Hey everyone! Just got my second T today, Guyana Pink Toe or Avic. Avic. She had a bit of a scare with me transfering her to her tank, ran up the side of the pet store container onto my arm that was holding it and had a nice run around on my arm for a couple minutes. It was when I lost site of her and found her hiding in my armpit that I decided to cup her gently tilt her into my hand and persuade her to move into her tank lol. I love her to bits already. Here's a decent pic of her and what I've got her in for now. Planning on upgrading within a week or 2 for her, unless its not really required for now, i noticed she takes up a lot less room than my Haitian haha. I also realize she should be in a tank taller than it is wider, soon to come. Anyways thanksfor looking! Cheers! \m/ Also my girlfriend thinks she should be called Tips, I kinda like it.

Thank you :) Ya, shes always cleaning herself, or dancing around with her front 2 feet, so fascinating to watch her lol. Shes got a much better setup now and ive seen her been doing much better than b4, a lot more active. But shes always been such a good little eater :)

I thought so too at first, but she seems to be doing good, and she can find her food, plus I never really see her on the ground anyways, even in her old setup, see her climbing on everything all the time.

The set up is differently fine it gives her a lot to climb on, and nice spots to build webs.

Thanks man, the glass is too slick maybe, I find if u spray the sides with warer a bit, let them dry and do this over time they have an easier time. Happened eith ny haitian. Dont let her fall to far! :)

Good to hear, that should be fine for her. Just be careful not to overmist her, and only do it so frequently until she has a better time climbing up the sides. Ive heard from most ppl on here with small enclosures water dishes are good enough for humidty. As I was writing this mine just slid down the side, landed on a crcket and is now eating it, all completely vertical. These guys are too fun to watch :) also shes starting making herself a web finally, looks neat (y)
