congrat's on the T, just seen this on a fb group. something like this setup would be good for an avic, lot's of small vent's in the lid an more round the side's for cross ventilation. avic's can suddenly die if there's not enough ventilation

Nice one, I'm currently on the look out for a versicolor so been reding up on Avics quite a bit. Never heard of cotton wool been used for humidity before either not with all the soil in that tub, bit of a trump in a hurricane if you ask me.
Ventilation is the big one with these for sure, they'd do we'll living in a sieve but just remember don't make the holes big enough for their food to escape. |

If you keep the crickets cool they will last ages and feed them sparingly they won't grow too much. I can make a tub last about 4 months.
I love versicolors they have the most amazing colours and temperament.
I use a 1mm drill bit to make my air holes, it takes forever to drill the holes but they do the job perfectly. Or just drill the holes bigger and stick tights material over the holes. |

About 4-6" depending on sex, i bought two tubs lotabob will look for a versi to occupy that as id like to be able to handle now and then apparently the laeta is unlike other avics and will actively defend itself and is also faster than the others |
