Avicularia juruensis, often called the Peruvian Pinktoe, is adored for its striking colors. The species features a mix of green, purple, and gold on its carapace, with a distinctive pink toe coloration and golden setae on its abdomen, making it a standout among Avicularia tarantulas.
Behavior and Temperament: Generally docile but slightly skittish, Avicularia juruensis is an arboreal species that prefers to jump or retreat when disturbed. It is suitable for intermediate keepers due to its specific humidity and ventilation requirements.
Habitat and Environment Needs: Originating from Peru, this tarantula requires a humid, well-ventilated environment with vertical space and plenty of branches or foliage to climb and build webs.
Feeding: Avicularia juruensis has a hearty appetite and readily feeds on a variety of insects, including crickets, roaches, and small locusts.
Additional Information: Due to its need for high humidity (around 75-85%) and sensitive respiratory system, adequate ventilation is crucial to avoid mold buildup and ensure the tarantula’s health.
