Avicularia sp. 'Colombia' (Colombian Purple Pink Toe Tarantula)
Avicularia sp. 'Colombia' is a beautiful purple pink toe form known for rich purple tones, orange abdominal markings in younger specimens, heavy webbing, and very docile behavior. It's often compared to Avicularia purpurea, but stands apart with its own look and locality appeal, especially during growth when the orange abdominal markings are more pronounced. Grab this new world tarantula for sale if you want a classic pink toe with richer purple tones and more colorful juvenile markings.
Why do hobbyists keep Avicularia sp. 'Colombia'?
- Stunning Coloration: A strong purple-toned pink toe that appeals especially to keepers who enjoy darker Avicularia species.
- Color Change: A gray and black sling develops into deeper purple tones as it matures into adulthood.
- Arboreal Heavy Webber: Builds thick silk retreats up high in the enclosure.
- Docile Temperament: Calm and manageable, a great pick for pink toe fans of any experience level.
How should Avicularia sp. 'Colombia' be kept?
- Adult Size: Reaches about 4 to 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: Calm and manageable, one of the more approachable arboreals in the hobby.
Are there any additional notes or considerations?
- Juvenile Markings: Younger specimens show attractive orange abdominal striping that helps distinguish this locality form, fading somewhat with maturity but never disappearing entirely.
- Rare in the Hobby: This Colombian locality form isn't often available compared to more common pink toe forms.
- Captive Bred: All Tarantulas are 100% captive bred.
