Why do hobbyists keep Avicularia sp. 'Pucallpa'?

• Mardi Gras Coloration: The mix of gold, green, purple, and pink gives this locality a very unusual look among pink toes.

• Webbing Behavior: A heavy webber that often builds thick retreats in the upper enclosure.

How should Avicularia sp. 'Pucallpa' be kept?

• Adult Size: Reaches about 5 to 6 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: Keep between 75 to 85 degrees 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: Usually very docile, though still quick and capable of sudden movement like many arboreals.

Are there any additional notes or considerations?

• Nocturnal Habits: Largely inactive during the day, this species becomes more active at dusk to hunt.
• Captive Bred: All Tarantulas are 100% captive bred.
