tarantula died oddly?

[WolfSpider]

I have been keeping Ts for 7 years. I avoid Avics and Caribena sps. cause I don't think I can overcome their fastidious keeper requirements. No other genus concerns me. Rest assured, avics can be challenging to even the best of hobbiests.

I agree with you 100% WolfSpider but it is the challenge that makes the whole thing rewarding after all we must all like to take risk considering what we chose as a gabby

Thank you for the advice, I will mix your with the other commenter before i end up getting another one. It seems I still have a lot to learn about these beauties! I loved my girl lots and am upset that I took poor care of her in her time with me. Thank you again for the advice!

so sorry for your loss and so sorry for doing a late reply.

short and simple: You need cross ventilation for any avic. not too wet, in fact I do just a water dish cause even misting substrate can stress them. if your avic is not webbing, your avic is stressed. use bamboo tongs to lighten stress when feeding (if you do tong feeding)..

need a piece of cork bark propped up with plant hanging.

if worried about water intake, you can always very lightly drop water into their webbing.


unfortunately, avics do get very stressed out. every time I'm in a petsmart, I want to buy their Avics available, due to their lack of proper care.

I hope you have a brighter future in T keeping. just keep on keeping on and learn from your troubles.
