You wont be disappointed

I have a juvenile that is just showing adult colour now. Gorgeous. I also have 2 slings that eat anything I give them. Like most Avics, they can be skittish and are fast but none of mine have ever been defensive apart from 1 amazonica and 1 versi but that was during rehousing lol.

Purps are loverly ! I got 2 lil spiderlings and they're fab.

Kept a bit different to other Avics though... they gotta be kept dry but humid, they don't like the wet...

So spraying but keep the substrate pretty damp would be ok?

No you want the substrate to be dry! Not wet. Gently mist the sides once a week.. don't keep the tub wet. Make sure its really well ventilated.

Yeah course, waitin on the postal order
