Avicularia sp. Ecuador - Royal Purple PinkToe - For Sale

Provide a vertically oriented arboreal enclosure with strong cross-ventilation, upright cork bark, foliage, and multiple elevated anchor points for web construction. A modest substrate layer is sufficient; usable vertical space, airflow, and webbing structure are considerably more important than deep substrate. This form naturally exhibits the elevated retreat-building behavior expected from Avicularia.

Maintain comfortable room temperatures around 70–75°F. Prioritize excellent cross-ventilation rather than attempting to maintain an artificially high humidity percentage. Occasional light misting can provide accessible hydration, but stagnant air and permanently wet substrate should be avoided. The goal is fresh airflow + reliable access to water, not a sealed humid enclosure.

Offer appropriately sized crickets or roaches approximately once per week, adjusting according to size, appetite, and abdomen condition. Lightly mist part of the webbing about once a week to create accessible drinking droplets, and provide an appropriately sized water dish once specimens become large enough. Remove uneaten prey during premolt and avoid keeping the enclosure continuously saturated.

The Royal Purple Pink Toe is a rare Ecuadorian Avicularia prized for its gorgeous violet, blue-purple, and metallic coloration. This is a compact-to-medium arboreal that establishes elevated web retreats and benefits from plenty of vertical structure. Your stock has proven particularly docile and manageable, making it an appealing collector Pink Toe for someone who wants intense purple coloration without difficult Old World behavior. Because this remains an undescribed hobby form, it should be maintained and bred separately from A. purpurea and other similar-looking Avicularia.
