The Caribbean Pink Toe, Avicularia versicolor, is renowned for its brilliant color changes as it matures, from neon blue as spiderlings to a vibrant green and red combination in adulthood.
Behavior and Temperament: This species is calm yet skittish, relying on rapid movement rather than aggression when threatened. It’s known for its silk retreats in high tree branches.
Habitat and Environment Needs: Native to the Caribbean, it thrives in warm, humid conditions. A tall enclosure with ample ventilation and climbing structures replicates its native habitat well.
Feeding: A steady diet of crickets, small roaches, and occasional moths or flies provides balanced nutrition.
Additional Information: Known for creating silken retreats, it plays an essential ecological role in pest control within its habitat.
