Adult females reach 4–5 inches with blue-purple iridescent leg coloration and the distinctly pink toe tips that give the entire \u003cem\u003eAvicularia\u003c\/em\u003e genus its common name. The coloration is most vivid directly after a fresh molt. Calm for an arboreal — the default response to disturbance is to bolt upward, not threaten.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is an intermediate-level species with one rule that overrides everything else: cross-ventilation. Stagnant humid air creates fatal conditions for \u003cem\u003eAvicularia\u003c\/em\u003e faster than almost any other mistake. Get the ventilation right and this is one of the most visible, rewarding arboreals you can keep. It is a heavy tube-web builder that will spider-proof its anchor point within days of being settled and spend most of its time in full view at the tube entrance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuick Stats:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e New World Arboreal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdult Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4–5 inches legspan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Intermediate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperament:\u003c\/strong\u003e Calm; bolts rather than bites; rarely threat-postures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVenom:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mild — New World\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUrticating Hairs:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes; may also spray excrement as defense\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Colombia, South America\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHusbandry Tips:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tall front-opening enclosure (12\"W x 12\"D x 16\"H for adults) with side and top ventilation — cross-ventilation is non-negotiable, never seal this species in. Provide a cork bark tube or fake plant anchored in the upper third as the web anchor point. 2–3\" coconut fiber substrate, lower half kept lightly moist. 72–82°F, 65–75% RH with constant airflow. Permanent water dish at substrate level; overflow weekly. Never mist the enclosure directly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top:16px;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/1404\/6952\/files\/avicularia_sp_colombia_care_sheet.pdf?v=1794078805\" style=\"color:#26B617;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e↓ Download the Free Care Sheet (PDF)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Field Life Pets Division","offers":[{"title":"Sling .5\" - Unsexed","offer_id":68143885615336,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/1404\/6952\/files\/IMG_0413.jpg?v=1794078185","url":"https:\/\/www.fieldlifepets.com\/products\/avicularia-sp-colombia-colombian-purple-pink-toe","provider":"Field Life Pets Division","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
