Guyana Pink Toe Tarantula (Avicularia avicularia) - 1" (Sling)

The tree spider that dips its toes in hot pink paint Avicularia avicularia, the Common Pinktoe, is the original tree spider and the one that put arboreal keeping on the map. Dark fuzzy body, a faint metallic sheen, and those trademark hot-pink toe tips that look like it stepped in wet paint. It ranges across northern South America, often living right alongside people in palm crowns and up on rooftops. Curious to a fault, it builds elaborate silken tube-webs and actually comes out to investigate you. This is a docile, beginner-friendly arboreal, a Spice 2 that earns its reputation as an easy keeper. Two quirks keep it iconic: it can flick urticating hairs, and it will fire a jet of waste at a threat with startling accuracy. Its signature escape move is a sudden jump, so expect a memorable surprise on maintenance day. A tall, well-ventilated enclosure is the secret to a happy one, and the care guide spells out exactly how to build it.
