Avicularia sp. shuriana (Shuriana Pink Toe Tarantula)
Avicularia sp. shuriana (Shuriana Pink Toe Tarantula)
Avicularia sp. shuriana is a vibrant pink toe form, known for green-blue metallic tones, heavy webbing, and very docile behavior. The cooler metallic look gives this species a very different presence from more standard dark-bodied pink toes, which is a big part of why it appeals to collectors looking for something a little less common. Once established, it settles into elevated retreats and can make a great display species in a proper vertical setup.
Why do hobbyists keep Avicularia sp. shuriana?
- Metallic Color: Known for green-blue tones that give this species a vivid and very recognizable appearance.
- Rare Hobby Appeal: This is the kind of Avicularia listing that especially stands out to collectors looking for less common forms.
- Webbing Behavior: This species is a heavy webber and often builds thick retreats in the upper enclosure.
- Docile Behavior: Usually very docile, though still quick and capable of sudden movement like many arboreals.
- Rare Species: A rare opportunity for those looking for new and rare species!
How should Avicularia sp. shuriana be kept?
- Enclosure: Arboreal setup with roughly 2x the leg span as the footprint and 3x the leg span as the height, with vertical cork bark, foliage, and multiple anchor points for webbing.
- Temperature: Natural conditions are typically around 75-85°F, but this species generally does fine at normal room temperatures as well, so 65-75°F is usually workable for most keepers.
- Humidity: Moderate to high humidity with slightly moist substrate and strong cross ventilation. Avoid stagnant or constantly wet conditions.
- Diet: Feed crickets, roaches, or similar prey no larger than the length of the tarantula's carapace (head). For smaller specimens, placing prey directly onto the webbing often improves feeding response.
- Temperament: Typically very docile, but still fast-moving and capable of jumping when startled.
Are there any additional notes or considerations?
- Younger Specimens: Smaller individuals usually do best in tighter setups where they can establish webbing quickly.
- Ventilation: This species benefits from strong airflow alongside humidity, and stale conditions are usually a bigger issue than slightly drier ones.
- Setup Tip: Vertical cork bark and well-placed anchor points usually improve both security and visibility.
Listing Notes
- This listing is for the 0.5-0.75" size.
