Why do hobbyists keep Avicularia sp. 'Metallica'?

• Stunning Coloration: Metallic blue legs paired with a fluffy, dark body and abdomen create a velvety shimmer that's especially striking in adults.

How should Avicularia sp. 'Metallica' be kept?

• Adult Size: Reaches about 6 inches at full leg span.
• 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 mealworms 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?

• Juvenile to Adult Shift: Juveniles show vivid contrast that gradually matures into a velvety, more subdued shimmer as they age.
• Captive Bred: All Tarantulas are 100% captive bred.
