Why do hobbyists keep Avicularia geroldi?

• Stunning Coloration: Intense blue tones across the carapace (head) and legs against a jet black abdomen, shifting toward blue-green depending on the light.
• Docile Temperament: Fast when startled but not defensive, an approachable arboreal for most experience levels.
• Arboreal Heavy Webber: Builds thick silk tube retreats up high in the enclosure.
• Rare in the Hobby: Genuinely hard to come by from pure, unhybridized stock.

How should Avicularia geroldi be kept?

• Adult Size: Reaches about 5 inches at full leg span.
• Enclosure: Provide an arboreal setup with vertical cork bark, foliage, and anchor points for webbing. Good ventilation is critical.
• Temperature: 75-85°F.
• 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 and manageable, fast when startled but not a defensive species.

Are there any additional notes or considerations?

• Genuine Colors: The vivid blue and black seen in photos are this species' real, unedited coloration, not enhanced or filtered.
• Captive Bred: All Tarantulas are 100% captive bred.
