[QUOTE="Jess S, post: 158466, member: 29302"] Hi Shaun, really sorry for your loss. As everyone has said Avics are known to die because of a combination of too much humidity and not enough cross ventilation, plus slings do in general tend to be more fragile and can 'peg out' for no apparent reason. Your little one might have fallen exploring it's new enclosure and hurt itself landing on one of those stones on the enclosure floor. That's just my guess, and I may be way off base. However, you may be better off not using stuff like pebbles in sling enclosures. Just stick to substrate, cork bark and foliage for now. And of course, a waterdish! Lol :) If (like me) you are new to keeping tarantulas, why dont you start off with something a lot hardier, such as anything from the Brachypelma or Grammastola genus? Some of the species from those genera are beautiful and have a reputation of being bombproof lol :):) I have 3 smashing T's from Phil and will be getting no 4 soon too. I would love one of his Avics but I am going to wait until I feel confident I could keep it right. Phil is a great guy who would be happy to help you decide on your next T. I hope you get another one and enjoy keeping it because this is a great hobby. [/QUOTE]
