Pink Toe Tarantula (Avicularia avicularia)

Pink Toe Tarantulas belong to the genus Avicularia. This genus is aboreal, meaning they live in trees. Unlike most other new world tarantulas, they can be quite fast due to life in the trees. These are beautiful tarantulas that have many characteristics and can make great pets too.

Description
Hence the name "Pink Toe", these tarantulas were named after the pink "toes" on the tips of their feet. They have beautiful black and metallic gray bodies and sometimes even have a little bit of turquoise on their carapaces.

Habitat
As stated before, these tarantulas are aboreal and live in trees. They live around the Amazon Basin, as well as in more specific areas such as Guyana (hence the other common name, Guyana Pink Toe), Brazil, Martinique (not to be confused with the Martinique Pink Toe, Avicularia versicolor), French Guiana, Suriname, Venezuela, and Trinidad.

Scientific Classification
The Pink Toe Tarantula is known as Avicularia avicularia to most scientists.

Care Tips (If you want a new pet!)
I (Kaelwizard) have a Avicularia avicularia pet myself. I keep mine on fairly dry eco-earth substrate. I keep a water bowl in her enclosure. I want to eventually get a acrylic enclosure with cross ventilation and a side opening door.
