 Purple Pumpkin Patch PinkToe (Avicularia sp. Columbia) 

The Rarest Sub-Species Of Purpurea

Introducing the Purple Pumpkin Patch (Avicularia sp. Columbia) a radiant jewel of the tarantula world and quite possibly the most visually unique sub-species of Purpurea in existence. This yet-to-be-described subspecies of Avicularia purpurea, hailing from the cloud-kissed forests of Colombia, is a breathtaking display of evolutionary brilliance. With shimmering violet-blue legs, a dark plum carapace, and a boldly striped abdomen that explodes in shades of fiery orange, this species has earned its pumpkin-inspired nickname Unlike the more common Avicularia species, the Purple Pumpkin Patch takes exotic beauty to the next level. Adult Females resemble a living piece of art—flashing royal purples and iridescent blues, contrasted by that gorgeous orange striping demanding attention. This isn’t just another pinktoe—it’s the crown jewel of the genus!

A Beginner Friendly Rarity 

Despite its rare and high-end status, the Purple Pumpkin Patch is one of the most beginner-friendly arboreal’s in the hobby. Maxing out at a compact and manageable 4.5 inches in diagonal leg span, it’s perfect for collectors with limited space who still want a major visual impact. Its temperament is incredibly mellow—calm, non-defensive, and surprisingly comfortable with handling. It’s an ideal match for both first-time keepers looking for a stunning display tarantula, and seasoned collectors who want something truly rare in their lineup. What makes this species even more intriguing is its scientific mystery. While many speculate it’s a regional variant of A. purpurea, it displays such striking and consistent differences in coloration and behavior that it may one day be described as an entirely new species. Until then, it remains one of the rarest and most coveted Pinktoe’s in the hobby!

The Purple Pumpkin Patch Pinktoe is more than just a pretty face. It’s hardy, easy to care for, and endlessly fascinating to watch. From its graceful appearance and furious feeding response, this spider is the definition of Allure. Don’t miss the chance to own this incredibly rare and visually stunning Avicularia while it’s still available—because once it’s gone, it may be years before you see one again!

Care & Husbandry Guide

🏠 Enclosure & Substrate

Provide a vertically oriented arboreal enclosure with excellent cross-ventilation, upright cork bark, foliage, and multiple elevated anchor points for web construction. A modest substrate layer is sufficient; vertical structure, airflow, and webbing space should be prioritized over deep substrate. Provide larger specimens with a water dish while continuing to offer occasional droplets around the web retreat.

🌡️ Temperature & Humidity

Maintain comfortable room temperatures around 70–75°F. Prioritize strong cross-ventilation over artificially high humidity. Occasional light misting provides drinking droplets and localized moisture, but the enclosure should have enough airflow to prevent stagnant conditions. Avoid constantly saturated substrate and allow the enclosure to ventilate between mistings. Cross-ventilation is consistently emphasized for this hobby form as it is for other Avicularia. 

 🍽️ Feeding & Water 

Offer approximately 1–2 appropriately sized small-to-medium crickets per week for growing juveniles, adjusting according to appetite and abdomen condition. Lightly mist part of the webbing about once a week to provide accessible drinking droplets. As specimens become larger, provide an appropriately sized water dish as well. Remove uneaten prey during premolt and avoid keeping the enclosure continuously wet.
