Why do hobbyists keep Avicularia braunshauseni?
- Stunning Coloration: A dark, velvety body set off by bright pink toe pads on every leg, the classic pink toe look at an impressive scale.
- Large Size: One of the largest pink toes in the genus, reaching 7 to 8 inches at full leg span.
- Arboreal Heavy Webber: Builds thick silk tube retreats up high and fills any anchor points it's given.
- Docile Temperament: Generally docile for an arboreal of this size, though still quick and capable of jumping when startled.
How should Avicularia braunshauseni be kept?
- Adult Size: Reaches 7 to 8 inches at full leg span, one of the largest pink toes in the hobby.
- Enclosure: Provide an arboreal setup with cork bark, foliage, and anchor points. A taller, larger enclosure is needed to accommodate the adult size. Good ventilation is critical.
- Temperature: 65-75°F with stable conditions.
- Humidity: Moderate to high with good airflow.
- Water: 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.
- Diet: Crickets, roaches, or similar prey sized to about a quarter of the leg span, matching the width of the carapace (head). Feed at least once a week.
- Temperament: Docile for its size, though still quick and capable of jumping when startled.
Are there any additional notes or considerations?
- Plan for Size: Given how large this species gets, building in extra room from the start pays off down the line.
- Captive Bred: All Tarantulas are 100% captive bred.
