Thank you. I'll dry it out.
All the information I found on them said they lived in the rainforest (If I remember correctly one site even recommended 85% humidity)
They do seem to prefer the drier area usually ( though, the larger one was in the damp area earlier today).
The water dish is very...
Seems to be back to normal...........Sorry.....I panicked:oops:.
It seems that you (Martin Oosthuysen) think that the humidity may be too high?
I did research the species before I acquired them and it said they need up to 60-75% humidity. I do try to keep it at the upper level since they are...
I haven't actually offered food, I was just checking because in the past they've eaten a few days after molting and I noticed that s/he wasn't acting normal.
This one is much more shy than the other one, but, still usually more active than s/he is right now. Just seems very weak :(

I'll continue to offer him food (I'll keep an eye on it and won't leave it in long).
You're right it would...
My Avic. hasn't eaten in months and he's losing weight. Lately he's getting lethargic and actually going to the bottom of the enclosure. He's on the bottom right now.
He was drinking OK for most of that time, but, I haven't seen him drink in the last couple of weeks, but, I have been leaving him...
Thank you. I was thinking male as well.
I thought I had clearer pictures, but, I can't seem to find them.
I'll try to get some better pictures (he's quite a bit hairier now, though) to double check
