Description
Avicularia minatrix (Dwarf Red Pink-Toe Tarantula)
These rare Avics are true dwarves, maxing out at about 3.5 inches, combined with a unique bronze and orange-red abdomen carrying a tiger pattern, making them a must have for any pink toe collector or anyone who wants a unique pet. Unlike most Avicularia, this species keeps its coloration from a young age rather than transforming dramatically with maturity. Grab this docile new world tarantula for sale if you want a genuinely small, colorful arboreal.
Why do hobbyists keep Avicularia minatrix?
- Stunning Coloration: A bronze and orange-red abdomen with a tiger pattern, unusual and eye-catching for such a small species.
- Docile Temperament: Calm and easygoing, a great pick for pink toe fans at any experience level.
- Arboreal Heavy Webber: Builds silk retreats typical of the genus, adding visual interest to its enclosure.
How should Avicularia minatrix be kept?
- Adult Size: Reaches about 3.5 inches at full leg span, a true dwarf within the Avicularia genus.
- Enclosure: Choose an enclosure at least twice the leg span in width, depth, and height, with cork bark or branches for climbing and webbing anchor points.
- Temperature: Keep between 65 to 75 degrees F.
- Humidity: Keep the substrate damp but not saturated, resembling the texture and color of coffee grounds. Organic coconut fiber works well since it resists mold and holds humidity steadily.
- 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 easygoing, one of the more approachable arboreals in the hobby.
Are there any additional notes or considerations?
- Consistent Coloring: Unlike most Avicularia species, this one keeps essentially the same coloration from a young age rather than transforming dramatically with maturity.
- Captive Bred: All Tarantulas are 100% captive bred.
