Message: <blockquote data-quote="DreadedNeith" data-source="post: 135691" data-attributes="member: 28071">Thanks for the info. I did a hell of a lot of research before actually getting my avic. Im glad i did because some of the first info i read said to keep the enclosure very humid. I continued researching and found better i formation that said not to keep them that humid. It makes sense because they are tree spiders. They live up in trees where there is plenty of breeze. In Suriname it is fairly humid but the humidity here in upstate NY is just fine for the spider without adding extra humidity. I'm sure i may need a little extra humidity in the winter when the air is so dry I cants breath but i will accomplish this by an occasional overflow of the water and a live plant in the enclosure.I am in love with the avicularia sp. and have been trying to research every one of them. I want them all. In my opinion they are as close to a cuddly spider as one can actually get and most of them have very beautiful coloration.</blockquote>
