Re: Had some conflicting advice....

A. avic do fine with dryer (not bone dry) conditions as adults yes, but as slings and juvi's, misting is needed in my opinion. Just make sure there is enough ventilation, coz that is what kills them if there isn't enough airflow. That said, i still mist my subadult once a week just because there is a live plant in it's enclosure

That sounds fine just 40-50% is what desert species are kept at and I think that's WAY too low no matter how you put it.

Re: Had some conflicting advice....

Many people kill avics with kindness in my opinion.

Avics can be kept the same as any other species, cage with water dish is just fine. You can mist if you like, but it is not totally necessary. Tarantulas will get their moisture to have a successful shed by the water they drink. It is internal hydration that is important when they moult. Too much humidity is just as bad for an avic as not enough. And as mentioned above good ventilation is a must.

I mist my slings, as their cages are too small for water dishes. I mist my adults once a week or so. Dry cages. They moult just fine.

I have never lost an avic keeping them without measuring their humidity in any way.
