Hi All,
I'm setting up a 5 gallon (8x10x16) tank for a new A.Avic. I found a 3.5 inch in a pet shop that is jammed into a very small enclosure and I'm going to rescue it (or so my logic goes). Hey I have to justify it somehow to the wife!
I have a long piece of tubular cork bark that has a 3" diameter opening. It is about 14" long so it will stand straight up in the tank. Since I have never kept an arboreal I'm not sure how to position this bark in the tank. Is it best to leave it in the shape of a tube or cut it in half to make two 180 degree pieces? I've seen pictures of it both ways. Will the Avic web inside of the tube if I leave it whole or is it more likely the it will use the bark as an anchor and web along the glass whether I cut it or not?
