Avicularia variegata
Avicularia variegata is a heavy bodied arboreal out of the Amazon rainforest, and one of the larger pink toes in the hobby. This species shows up in two distinct color forms, one with a pink sheen covered in reddish-brown setae, the other with a gold carapace (head) carrying a greenish glow and yellow rings on the legs. Grab this docile new world tarantula for sale if you want a substantial, heavy webbing pink toe.
Why do hobbyists keep Avicularia variegata?
- Stunning Coloration: Occurs in two color forms, a pink sheen with reddish-brown setae, or a gold carapace with a greenish glow and yellow leg rings.
- Docile Temperament: Calm and easygoing, a comfortable species for keepers of any experience level.
- Arboreal Heavy Webber: Builds thick silk retreats, adding real visual interest to its enclosure over time.
How should Avicularia variegata be kept?
- Adult Size: Reaches about 7 inches or more at full leg span, one of the larger species in the genus.
- Enclosure: Provide an arboreal setup with vertical cork bark, foliage, and anchor points for webbing. A taller, larger enclosure suits the adult size well. Good ventilation is critical.
- 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 manageable, one of the more approachable large arboreals in the hobby.
Are there any additional notes or considerations?
- Two Color Forms: Individuals can show up as either the pink and reddish-brown form or the gold and green form, both true to the species.
- Captive Bred: All Tarantulas are 100% captive bred.
