The Avicularia geroldi, also known as the Blue Green Pinktoe, is a strikingly colored tarantula with metallic blue-green body coloration and pink-tipped toes, making it highly sought after by enthusiasts for its unique appearance.
Behavior and Temperament: Known for a relatively calm demeanor, this species is skittish rather than aggressive and is more likely to jump or retreat when startled. Avicularia geroldi is generally suitable for beginners with proper care.
Habitat and Environment Needs: This tarantula thrives in humid, tropical environments with ample ventilation. Enclosures should include plenty of vertical space, branches, and leaves for climbing, mimicking the rainforests of Brazil.
Feeding: The Avicularia geroldi feeds on a variety of insects such as crickets and roaches. It is an enthusiastic feeder, though it sometimes prefers hunting at dusk or night.
Additional Information: This species requires higher humidity, around 75-85%, and benefits from misting and proper ventilation to avoid mold and ensure a healthy environment.
