'Metallica' M6, is an arboreal tarantula from South America, most likely across a wide range through Guyana and Brazil. Adults have blue legs, a blue carapace (head), and a lightly reddish abdomen, with white tipped hairs over the body that give the blue its metallic finish and are where the Metallica name comes from. There is far less red here than on a traditional pink toe, so the animal comes across mostly blue, white and black, and it grows to about 6 inches in diagonal leg span. Females live about 10 to 12 years, with males maturing faster and typically living only 2 to 3 years. This species is also docile and easygoing, one of the more approachable arboreals in the hobby, and a strong pick for a keeper who wants blue without an old world temperament.

Sized a notch ahead of the animal on purpose, since a pink toe that grows into its space settles and webs faster than one that outgrows it and has to be moved again right away.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSetup Tips:\u003c\/strong\u003e Real cork bark or a real piece of wood in the enclosure is not just decoration, it is one of the most important pieces of this setup. It gives the animal somewhere real to grip and start laying web right away, and with this genus in particular, that first piece of bark makes a drastic difference in how quickly a new arrival settles in and starts webbing. We have seen a real increase in early survival success tied directly to a bark based setup versus a bare enclosure, so this is one detail worth getting right from day one, not something to add later.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRehousing:\u003c\/strong\u003e From here it moves up to an 8x8x12 inch enclosure, then finally a 12x12x18 inch enclosure as a full adult, with each move coming roughly 8 to 12 months apart at this genus's medium to fast growth rate, full size in about 2 to 4 years start to finish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 75 to 85°F, the optimal range for most tropical species like this one. Cooler temperatures are survivable, but increase the odds of trouble molting and growing, so we recommend staying in this range for the best results. Most keepers do not need any extra heating to hit it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHumidity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate to high, with the substrate kept lightly moist rather than wet, and strong cross ventilation. Airflow matters more here than maximizing humidity, so skip a fully screened top, which dries an enclosure out too fast.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater:\u003c\/strong\u003e In the wild, arboreal tarantulas get most of their water from rainfall, drinking droplets off leaves, webbing, and enclosure walls rather than standing water. Misting the enclosure once a week is required, not optional, since it's this species' primary water source. A shallow water dish placed up on a piece of cork rather than on the floor is still worth keeping as a backup, and keeps crickets from drowning before they get eaten, but it should never replace regular misting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Prey sized around 3\/16\", the right size for a 0.5 to 0.75 inch animal, offered at least once a week. Feed on that schedule at every stage, spiderlings included, and remove anything left uneaten after a day or two.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperament:\u003c\/strong\u003e Docile but fast, quicker to bolt for its retreat than to stand its ground, and capable of jumping when startled. It tends to stay high in the enclosure and may ignore prey sitting on the ground while young, so offering food up where it is sitting works better than dropping it below. This genus is genuinely easy once one thing is right: keep the air moving with real cross ventilation, keep the substrate lightly moist rather than wet, and give it real cork bark from the sling stage. Get that airflow right and this species is straightforward to raise.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAre there any additional notes or considerations?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePink Toe Spiders?:\u003c\/strong\u003e You will sometimes see these called pink toe spiders online. Tarantulas are arachnids, not spiders, and definitely not true spiders, the kind most people picture when they hear the word spider. This is one of the heavy bodied, hairy, long lived tarantulas that gets lumped in with that name anyway. If you searched for a pink toe spider and landed here, you are in exactly the right place.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNot Eating?\u003c\/strong\u003e If this tarantula ever skips a meal, try prekilling the prey item and placing it up high in the enclosure rather than leaving live prey to wander. Dehydration is one of the most common reasons any tarantula, arboreal species especially, will refuse food, so keeping up with misting and a full water dish is usually the fastest way to get it back on track.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLooking for similar species?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrowse our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/arboreal\"\u003eArboreal Tarantulas\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/new-world\"\u003eNew World Tarantulas\u003c\/a\u003e collections to explore related care profiles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions about Avicularia sp.

Shipping is dehydrating, and an arboreal especially will not settle in or start eating until it has rehydrated properly, so this is the one step worth not skipping on day one. Once you have seen it drink, let it settle in undisturbed for a few days before offering its first meal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eListing Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis listing is for an Avicularia sp.

Adults have a muted yellow base accented by black bands and markings across the carapace (head), legs and body, with purple undertones showing through the dark patches. The underside runs brighter, with bold yellow and black banding that creates striking contrast against the more muted yellow on top. The abdomen is darker, with rim coloring in that same iconic pattern seen across Poecilotheria. It grows at a medium to fast pace and the yellow only brightens with every molt. P. striata reaches a max diagonal leg span of about 7 to 8 inches, and females live 12 to 15 years while males live 2 to 3. This is a fast and defensive species that would far rather bolt into its tube than stand its ground, and it comes from rugged country that has made it one of the most forgiving in Poecilotheria.

Pokies come from a climate with an extreme wet season and an extreme dry season, and that harsh swing is a big part of why striata is more forgiving of a new keeper's mistakes than a lot of other Asian arboreal spiderlings. It also hatches larger than most and feeds with real enthusiasm, even observed taking down small lizards and other vertebrate prey in the wild, and that combination makes it a great species once you are comfortable with Asian arboreals.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUncommon in the Hobby:\u003c\/strong\u003e This is an uncommon species in the hobby, and it stays highly sought after because of it. Poecilotheria overall runs smaller egg sacs and longer gestation periods than a lot of other tarantulas, so captive-bred striata stays limited too, even against the rest of Poecilotheria.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow should this Poecilotheria be kept?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdult Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e This species hatches at around 0.75 to 1 inch and grows toward its adult max from there.

Room temperature works fine too and most animals do just fine there, but it can also lead to slower growth or molting issues, so we want every keeper aware of that and matching the native range when they can, which helps the animal thrive.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHumidity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Keep humidity high with good, ideally cross, ventilation.

Misting the enclosure once a week is required, not optional, since it's this species' primary water source. A shallow water dish placed up on a piece of cork rather than on the floor is still worth keeping as a backup, and keeps crickets from drowning before they get eaten, but it should never replace regular misting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Feed crickets sized around 3\/8 inch to 1\/2 inch, roughly the size of the carapace, at least once a week, every stage including this one.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperament:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fast and defensive when it feels truly threatened, bolting into its tube rather than standing its ground.

That is part of why generous space on all sides matters so much, not just for Poecilotheria but for Asian arboreals in general: give it room and you get to see the whole leg span and pattern stretched out at once.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMore Forgiving Than the Reputation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Every Poecilotheria comes from rugged, sometimes unforgiving parts of India and Sri Lanka, and striata carries that same toughness into captivity. Poecilotheria tolerates real-world humidity and temperature swings better than its reputation suggests, with more margin for error day to day than most keepers expect from an old world arboreal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNot Eating?\u003c\/strong\u003e If this tarantula ever skips a meal, try prekilling the prey item and placing it up high in the enclosure rather than leaving live prey to wander.

Misting the enclosure once a week is required, not optional, since it's this species' primary water source.

Adults display blue legs, a green carapace (head), and a bright orange abdomen, one of the most iconic color combinations in the hobby. Spiderlings start out black and orange, changing a little more with every molt until the blue, green and orange coloration comes in around two and a half inches and intensifies as it gets bigger. The GBB only grows to about 6 inches in diagonal leg span, while females live an impressive 10 to 15 years and males mature faster, typically living only 2 to 3 years. GBBs are also docile but skittish, and highly active, quicker to move and a little more easily startled than some of the calmer beginner picks like the Mexican Red Knee or Brazilian Black, though not an aggressive or mean spider by nature.

Adults have a stunning green and yellow base that runs across the legs, carapace (head) and abdomen, with amazing undertones of other color worked into the carapace, red setae scattered over the legs and abdomen, and yellow highlights along the top of each leg. The underside is one of the most beautiful in the hobby, flashing red, purple, green and blue across its reflective parts whenever the animal is up on the glass, and the underneath of the front legs, just beneath the carapace, runs an especially vivid yellow banding of its own. Spiderlings hatch out unusually large for Poecilotheria, some close to an inch and others reaching an inch and a half, starting out gray bodied with the same base outline every young pokie starts with before a red hue begins coming in around an inch and a half to two inches and intensifies from there. P. rufilata reaches a max diagonal leg span of about 8 to 9 inches, with keepers reporting the occasional specimen pushing toward 10, and females live 12 to 15 years while males live 2 to 3. This is a fast and defensive species that would far rather bolt into its tube than stand its ground, which suits keepers who want the biggest arboreal they can get.

Pokies come from a climate with an extreme wet season and an extreme dry season, and that harsh swing is a big part of why rufilata is more forgiving of a new keeper's mistakes than a lot of other Asian arboreal spiderlings. It already hatches larger than most Poecilotheria and feeds with real enthusiasm, even observed taking down small lizards and other vertebrate prey in the wild, and that combination makes it a great species once you are comfortable with Asian arboreals.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUncommon in the Hobby:\u003c\/strong\u003e This is an uncommon species in the hobby, and it stays highly sought after because of it. Poecilotheria overall runs smaller egg sacs and longer gestation periods than a lot of other tarantulas, so captive-bred numbers stay limited across the board.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow should this Poecilotheria be kept?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdult Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e This species generally hatches at about an inch, large for Poecilotheria, which tracks with it being the largest Poecilotheria species there is.

Room temperature works fine too and most animals do just fine there, but it can also lead to slower growth or molting issues, so we want every keeper aware of that and matching the native range when they can, which helps the animal thrive.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHumidity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Keep humidity high with good, ideally cross, ventilation.

Misting the enclosure once a week is required, not optional, since it's this species' primary water source. A shallow water dish placed up on a piece of cork rather than on the floor is still worth keeping as a backup, and keeps crickets from drowning before they get eaten, but it should never replace regular misting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Feed crickets sized around 3\/8 inch to 1\/2 inch, roughly the size of the carapace, offering two to three prey items per feeding at this size rather than one, at least once a week.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperament:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fast and defensive when it feels truly threatened, bolting into its tube rather than standing its ground.

That is part of why generous space on all sides matters so much, not just for Poecilotheria but for Asian arboreals in general: give it room and you get to see the whole leg span and pattern stretched out at once.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMore Forgiving Than the Reputation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Every Poecilotheria comes from rugged, sometimes unforgiving parts of India and Sri Lanka, and rufilata carries that same toughness into captivity.

Spiderlings do not start out colorful and the adult colors come in around 2 to 2.5 inches, while the species only grows to about 6 inches in diagonal leg span.

In the wild this species spends the day tucked under cover like this, coming out mainly in the mornings, and the hide also gives it a spot to retreat to for extra humidity if it wants it.

We recommend a light misting about once a week. The top of the substrate can dry out between mistings, but the substrate underneath should never be allowed to dry out completely, matching the surface dry, soil damp balance this species is used to in the wild.

Yours ships in a hand cut 2 by 2 by 3 inch dram vial with about half an inch of substrate, a piece of flat cork bark centered so it is not touching the walls, and shallow holes already drilled into the cork to give the trapdoor a starting point. That is built for a 1 inch spider rather than the one going in it, which is deliberate. It carries the animal through a lot of molts while staying small enough to hold humidity and small enough that a spiderling this size actually finds its prey.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRehousing:\u003c\/strong\u003e One rehouse ahead of it, into a 5 by 5 by 7 inch enclosure once it passes an inch, and that second enclosure is the last one it will ever need. They do come out and move around, but they are mainly stationary, living at the trapdoor rather than roaming the way a pink toe does, so they do not need the height a traveling arboreal needs. At a medium to fast growth rate expect roughly 2 to 3 years to full size, faster kept warm and fed well.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Keep them at 80 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit. This one matters more than most keepers expect. Kept cool they grow very slowly and do noticeably less, and we have consistently seen them do better warm. If your home sits in the 60s, plan on a heat source for this species rather than a shelf in the living room. Get the temperature right and every other part of keeping one gets easier.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHumidity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Keep the substrate lightly damp and let the surface layer run drier. This is a tropical species, so it tolerates damp far longer than an arid tarantula would, and consistency matters more here than any number on a gauge. Good ventilation is critical. Cross ventilation works best, but ample top ventilation can also be effective as long as the enclosure is not over-misted.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater:\u003c\/strong\u003e In the wild, arboreal tarantulas get most of their water from rainfall, drinking droplets off leaves, webbing, and enclosure walls rather than standing water. Misting the enclosure once a week is required, not optional, since it's this species' primary water source. A shallow water dish placed up on a piece of cork rather than on the floor is still worth keeping as a backup, and keeps crickets from drowning before they get eaten, but it should never replace regular misting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Prey length should run about a quarter of the leg span, roughly the width of the carapace. At three eighths to half an inch that is a 3\/32 to 1\/8 inch cricket or a small roach nymph. Feed at least once a week. Pre-killed prey works well so they are sure to find it, and a well fed animal is far more likely to build and maintain its trapdoor than a hungry one that roams instead.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperament:\u003c\/strong\u003e Docile and quick to disappear into its trapdoor when it feels disturbed. This species relies on camouflage and retreat, never on standing its ground.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAre there any additional notes or considerations for the Brazilian Jewel Tarantula?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePro Setup Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e We spent years testing enclosure designs for this species, different cage sizes, different ventilation, different bark, before we noticed something: the setups where the bark already had natural insect holes in it were the ones where spiders built trapdoors fastest. So we started drilling those same holes into cork and vials ourselves, and every seladonia we gave that setup built a trap within a week. Insect boreholes in wood are what a wild seladonia starts its trapdoor in, and drilling our own reproduces that same cue. We spent more years refining that design before we ever released it to customers, and once we saw how much trouble people had replicating it on their own, we started shipping it with the animal instead, hand cut and set up before every seladonia goes out the door. We have worked with this species for over six years now, and helping so many customers raise their seladonia all the way to adulthood has been one of the most rewarding parts of running this business. We feel our cages have played a big part in that, and the design has since been widely copied across the hobby, close to an industry standard for keeping this species now.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCork Bark Is Essential:\u003c\/strong\u003e This species will not behave naturally without proper flat cork bark to build on. Sterile natural cork from day one helps them settle and web faster, and a light dusting of fine bark or sphagnum on the surface helps them blend the trapdoor in. We stock the same sterile cork we use ourselves on our dry goods pages.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuccess Formula:\u003c\/strong\u003e This is a delicate species, and three things carry it: consistent moisture, correctly sized prey, and minimal disturbance. Get those right and the rest takes care of itself. Anyone who has raised Avicularia or Caribena slings already has the skill set, and the keepers who thrive with this species are the ones who ask questions. We are here for exactly that, which is why this species is our specialty.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHard To Spot:\u003c\/strong\u003e Once the trapdoor is built it can be very hard to find, which is the whole point of it. Finding it and then watching an ambush is one of the best payoffs in the hobby.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCaptive Bred:\u003c\/strong\u003e All Tarantulas are 100% captive bred.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNot Eating?\u003c\/strong\u003e If this tarantula ever skips a meal, try prekilling the prey item and placing it up high in the enclosure rather than leaving live prey to wander. Dehydration is one of the most common reasons any tarantula, arboreal species especially, will refuse food, so keeping up with misting and a full water dish is usually the fastest way to get it back on track.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions about Typhochlaena seladonia?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat do I do when I first get my tarantula?\u003c\/strong\u003e As soon as it arrives, mist the enclosure so there is clear moisture on the webbing, substrate, or enclosure wall, and keep an eye on it until you actually see it take a drink. Shipping is dehydrating, and an arboreal especially will not settle in or start eating until it has rehydrated properly, so this is the one step worth not skipping on day one. Once you have seen it drink, let it settle in undisturbed for a few days before offering its first meal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eListing Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis listing is for a Typhochlaena seladonia Brazilian Jewel spiderling measuring around three eighths to half an inch (3\/8 to 1\/2 inch) in diagonal leg span, which is the size given in the title, unsexed with roughly a 50\/50 chance of male or female.

Spiderlings start out pink and black, and that pink brightens into a vivid red orange through the juvenile stage and keeps intensifying as the animal grows. This dwarf tarantula reaches a max diagonal leg span of about 3.5 inches, and females live about 10 years while males live 2 to 3 years.

'Oaxaca', is a New World tarantula from Oaxaca, Mexico, a terrestrial dwarf species. Adults have black legs with white striping down them, a copper orange carapace, and black and orange coloration on the abdomen. This species is sexually dimorphic: mature males develop solid white legs, while females keep the white striping down their legs into adulthood. This color comes in around 2 inches in diagonal leg span. As with the rest of the Davus genus, females live around 10 years while males mature faster and typically live only 2 to 3. Like other Tropical Terrestrial Dwarfs, this species is a heavy webber that can be a little skittish, quicker to retreat into its web than stand its ground, though it is not an aggressive tarantula by nature.

Adults have a striking blue coloration, with blue legs and beige femurs, a gray to blue carapace (head), and a solid beige abdomen. This blue baboon is sexually dimorphic, meaning males and females look slightly different from each other. Mature males develop solid blue legs and a solid blue carapace in their last molt of life, while females display a carapace that ranges from light gray to dark blue, depending on the individual. Spiderlings start out gray, and the blue and beige coloration comes in around 2.5 to 3 inches and intensifies with age. The max size of this species is about six inches in diagonal leg span. Monocentropus balfouri is also one of the most successfully kept communal species in the hobby, where mothers have even been observed raising their own spiderlings to adulthood in communal setups in captivity. This species has a lifespan of 10 to 15 years for females, while males only live 2 to 3. The island blue baboon has the fast, alert temperament typical of most Old World baboon tarantulas.

Colombia large), is a dwarf terrestrial tarantula from Colombia and one of the most popular dwarf tarantulas in the hobby. Adults of this species have orange legs, a stunning black carapace (head) with reflective orange markings, and an orange abdomen with black markings that create a row of orange dots, leading to its pumpkin patch name. Spiderlings are already colorful, looking like miniature versions of the adults, while the species only grows to about 3.5 inches in diagonal leg span. Dwarf tarantulas are popular among many keepers who want a small tarantula that feels less intimidating than a larger species, and this is a long lived dwarf on top of that, with females reaching about 8 to 10 years while males live 1.5 to 2 years. This species is docile but fast, and one we recommend for keepers who want a small colorful spider that stays out where they can see it.

On dwarf terrestrials we build to roughly 3 times the leg span for footprint and 2 times for height, and we size for where the animal is headed rather than where it sits today, so this is built for a 1.2 inch spider.

This is a fast growing species, 1 to 2 years to full size, so expect roughly 6 to 8 months out of each enclosure.

Sized a notch ahead of the animal on purpose, since a pink toe that grows into its space settles and webs faster than one that outgrows it and has to be moved again right away.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSetup Tips:\u003c\/strong\u003e Real cork bark or a real piece of wood in the enclosure is not just decoration, it is one of the most important pieces of this setup. It gives the animal somewhere real to grip and start laying web right away, and with this genus in particular, that first piece of bark makes a drastic difference in how quickly a new arrival settles in and starts webbing. We have seen a real increase in early survival success tied directly to a bark based setup versus a bare enclosure, so this is one detail worth getting right from day one, not something to add later.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRehousing:\u003c\/strong\u003e From here it moves up to an 8x8x10 inch enclosure, then finally a 10x10x16 inch enclosure as a full adult, with each move coming roughly 8 to 12 months apart at this genus's medium to fast growth rate, full size in about 2 to 4 years start to finish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 75 to 85°F, the optimal range for most tropical species like this one.

Misting the enclosure once a week is required, not optional, since it's this species' primary water source. A shallow water dish placed up on a piece of cork rather than on the floor is still worth keeping as a backup, and keeps crickets from drowning before they get eaten, but it should never replace regular misting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Prey sized around 1\/8\", the right size for a 0.5 to 0.75 inch animal, offered at least once a week.

It tends to stay high in the enclosure and may ignore prey sitting on the ground while young, so offering food up where it is sitting works better than dropping it below. This genus is genuinely easy once one thing is right: keep the air moving with real cross ventilation, keep the substrate lightly moist rather than wet, and give it real cork bark from the sling stage. Get that airflow right and this species is straightforward to raise.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAre there any additional notes or considerations?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePink Toe Spiders?:\u003c\/strong\u003e You will sometimes see these called pink toe spiders online.

Spiderlings do not start out colorful and the adult colors come in around 2 to 2.5 inches, while the species only grows to about 6 inches in diagonal leg span. Like others in the genus, along with Brachypelma, this species lives a long time, with females living 20 to 30 years while males live 3 to 5 years. This species is also very calm and forgiving, and one we recommend for beginner keepers or anyone who wants an easier keeping experience.

There is no ecological need to collect from the wild since captive-bred slings hatch out in the US every year, and buying captive bred supports breeders rather than pulling females out of the desert.

Adults have blonde hairs covering the body and legs, contrasting sharply against jet black markings on the abdomen, colorful throughout its life. Even from spiderlings the species is colorful, carrying that contrast from hatch and building toward the full blonde and black adult look as it grows. This species only grows to about 5 to 6 inches in diagonal leg span, with a fast growth rate, one of the fastest growing genera in the hobby. Females live about 10 years while males typically live only 2 to 3. This is a fast, alert species that keeps you on your toes rather than a calm handler's pet, and we recommend it for keepers who already have some arboreal experience.
