[QUOTE="Chubbs, post: 66304, member: 1084"] Avics can be very heavy webbers depending on how they are housed. They do best when not kept in enclosures that are overly-large. I feel this is true of almost all tarantulas, but it definitely applies to Avics in particular. I'm not saying that your Avic won't be "happy" if you put it in a terrarium that is slightly too large, but don't always expect to see a lot of webbing (if any) if you should choose to house them this way. Having lots of anchor points near the top also helps a lot. A.avic and A.metallica tend to be slower to start webbing, and often only do so when nearing a molt. [/QUOTE]
