Wow thats a nice Avic you got there, but can i give you some good advice and he/she will love you for it let's just say get rid of the bark chipings if he or she falls on it,it will go straight into the abdomen and kill it, trust me i've seen it happen to a friend of mine and it's not a nice death for them

heheheh yeah ours used to slip down the glass until he had laid down a few strands of silk about the place! We had a small plastic viv plant in ours. he used to love it, climbing right into the leaves so you couldn't see him.

Sadly no longer with us but he's preserved, sat on the shelf of the display cabinet... scaring all the lasses that visit us lmao!!!!

Pink toes are arboreal tarantula, you really should provide something for it to climb and attack its web against - cork or bamboo tubing. I rarely see my arboreals on the substrate and I've never seen any of them fall, they're too good at climbing high trees for that. My substrates are all a mix of peat/vermiculite/sphagnum moss which gives an ideal substrate for creating a more humid and moist environment for the likes of Avics. Make sure you provide plenty of ventilation too.

Great Liz, you've got an Avic. They're lovely creatures and always up to something (at least mine are). All the best!
