Antilles Pinktoe Tarantula

History/Facts

Antilles Pink Toe Tarantulas, scientifically known as Caribena versicolor, is a captivating arboreal tarantula species native to the Caribbean islands of Martinique and Guadeloupe. These spiders are celebrated for their stunning and vibrant appearance, showcasing a remarkable color transformation as they mature. Juvenile Caribena versicolor display striking blue bodies with pinkish hues on their toes, while adults develop a mesmerizing metallic green-blue coloration, complemented by their pinkish-orange toes. Their alluring coloration, combined with their elongated, slender legs and velvety appearance, makes them highly sought after among tarantula enthusiasts.

One fascinating aspect of Caribena versicolor is their arboreal lifestyle. These tarantulas prefer to inhabit trees and foliage, utilizing specialized toe pads to effortlessly cling to branches and vegetation. They are agile hunters, preying on insects, small arthropods, and occasionally small vertebrates that venture into their habitat. Renowned for their docile demeanor and striking appearance, Caribena versicolor tarantulas are popular choices for enthusiasts seeking to introduce a touch of tropical elegance to their collection. However, they require specific care, including maintaining appropriate humidity levels and providing a vertically oriented enclosure to replicate their natural habitat accurately.
