[QUOTE="MassExodus, post: 52258, member: 4086"] Hi. The curly hair was a great choice. Just wanted to say, don't be discouraged by avics, for the most part they're the brachys of the arboreal spiders. And don't be put off by the talk of avics being fragile and dying easily...they require a lot of ventilation but their substrate doesn't need to be wet. Give them a plastic plant to web to and a water dish with fresh water, slings you can soak every once in a while but let it dry out completely before doing it again. I always did that rarely with mine, kind of like simulating occasional rain. One guy i know just sprays a little water on the web hammok once a week. They don't require 90% humidity like some seem to believe. Ventilation is key. They're a great genus and versis are flat out gorgeous :T: Just my opinion from my own experience with my 6 avics. I raised them all from tiny slings. One warning : if you're fond of pretty enclosures, be prepared for lots of maintenance... Arboreals, particularly Avics, poop all over the sides of their enclosure..:eek: [/QUOTE]
