Possible one of the most beautiful "hobby staples" there is, the versicolor has impressed both experienced and beginner hobbyists for decades with its captivating beauty.

There aren't many species that are beautiful for their entire lives, and this one is a show stopper. As babies to juveniles this species is a stark blue eventually getting an orange abdomen. Then as an adult, this species sports a red and purple coat with a green carapace that can sometimes appear sky blue depending on the lighting. 

We have some of the most impressive tarantulas from around the globe, and still work with this species, so you know it is an awesome one. 

If you are looking for a colorful tarantula, that is a heavy webbing docile species, that is fun to watch grow, this is a great option!

Cage Requirements

Choose an enclosure at least twice the tarantula's leg span in width, depth, and height. Ensure proper ventilation to prevent condensation and provide a hide to help your pet feel secure.

Diet & Water

Feed your invertebrates crickets, roaches, or mealworms—we primarily use crickets and recommend feeding weekly. Provide a textured, shallow water dish as a drinking source, ensuring it's just water (no sugar, sponges, or additives).

Temperature & Humidity

Keep invertebrates at room temperature (65°F-75°F) and maintain humidity using soil. The soil should be damp but not saturated, resembling the texture and color of coffee grounds.

Soil & Plants

We use organic coconut fiber for our tarantulas because it resists mold and holds humidity well. For bioactive enclosures, choose nutrient-rich soil, ensuring it is free from insecticides and pests.
