And A. Avicularia seems to be struggling to make the floor mat. The dry substrate (coconut fiber) seemed to be ripping as she was digging to make a dish like area. Ive decided to intervene to make this process easier on her to build said web. She made her "lair" in the bottom corner of my tank so I've been able to watch this process. All I've done to assist is slipped two tooth pick sized reeds down the sides of the corner. This should be sufficient to support her dish in the making. Everyone please note that a Avicenna have record of having trouble in this step of breeding, lots have not made a good enough web floor and lost the whole sac. This is her first time and has not lived up to normal actions for these species. Just keeping tall posted well see how this works.
) I 'll add pictures later but she looks like she might explode. However at this time feeding has seemed less demanding and has ceased completely. As for the toothpick assistance she swept one away and used the other. This is the longest I've heard of in this spieces so far.
