Native to a huge range across northern South America and Trinidad, this medium-sized New World arboreal builds thick silky tube retreats up high and is one of the more forgiving arboreal species to keep. Not flashy by today's standards, but there is a reason it has been in the hobby for decades. Grab this New World arboreal tarantula for sale today if you want the classic pink toe that started it all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy do hobbyists keep Avicularia avicularia?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClassic Pink Toe Look:\u003c\/strong\u003e The dark velvety body with bright pink toe pads on every leg is the look that defined pink toe tarantula for a generation of keepers. Still one of the most recognizable tarantulas out there.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArboreal Heavy Webber:\u003c\/strong\u003e Builds a thick silky tube retreat at the top of the enclosure and will fill any anchor points you give it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGreat Display Species:\u003c\/strong\u003e Once it claims a spot and builds its retreat, it usually stays visible near the entrance. Not a species that hides away.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDocile Temperament:\u003c\/strong\u003e Docile by arboreal standards. Still fast and can jump when startled, but far less defensive than most Old World tarantulas. A staple recommendation for first-time arboreal keepers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow should Avicularia avicularia be kept?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEnclosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Arboreal setup with cork bark, foliage, and anchor points. Roughly 2× the leg span as the footprint and 3× the leg span as the height. Good ventilation is critical. The enclosure should be taller than it is wide to give this arboreal room to build up high.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 65 to 75 degrees F with stable conditions. Stable room temperature is more important than hitting an exact number.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHumidity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate to high humidity with slightly moist substrate and strong cross ventilation. Keep the substrate from going bone dry, and always provide a water dish. Slightly moist is the goal, never soggy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater:\u003c\/strong\u003e Provide a shallow water dish placed in an elevated position if possible. This is more natural for arboreal species and helps prevent crickets from falling in and drowning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Feed 2 to 3 appropriately sized insects once a week, no larger than the length of the tarantula's carapace (head). For spiderlings, placing prey directly onto the webbing often improves feeding consistency.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTemperament:\u003c\/strong\u003e Docile but fast-moving. Will retreat quickly when disturbed rather than posture defensively.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre there any additional notes or considerations?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCaptive Bred:\u003c\/strong\u003e All our animals are 100% captive bred.

Keep slings in smaller enclosures with proper ventilation and consistent moisture. Never let the enclosure go bone dry or stay soaking wet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor Change Throughout Life:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spiderlings start with a blue-toned body that matures into the dark velvety adult. The pink toe pads develop with each molt.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdd this New World arboreal tarantula for sale to your collection today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eListing Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis listing includes multiple size options.
