Royal Purple Pink Toe (Avicularia sp. Ecuador)
A Truly Purple Tarantula that’s Ideal for Handling!
The Royal Purple Pinktoe, also known as the Tik-Tak Purple Pinktoe, is an absolute must-have for any tarantula enthusiast. Famous for its striking royal purple coloration, small size, and docile personality, this species stands out as one of the most beautiful and manageable tarantulas in the hobby.
Not Your Common Purpurea!
Unlike the more common Avicularia purpurea, the Royal Purple Pinktoe boasts richer, deeper violet hues rather than the lighter, pinkish tones often seen on A. purpurea. Furthermore, the Royal Purple Pink Toe also has an incredibly calm demeanor, making it far more tolerant of handling. Unlike its slightly larger cousin, this species is less prone to darting or jumping off your hand—traits often associated with A. purpurea. In fact Avicularia sp. Ecuador, found only in northern Ecuador, stays slightly smaller than most pinktoes, maxing out at 4+ inches diagonal leg span displaying a thicker and broader build. Its compact size, combined with its dazzling coloration, makes it one of the most desirable members of the Avicularia genus. Like all pinktoes, this species is incapable of kicking hairs, making it a fantastic choice for both beginners and experienced keepers alike. Don’t miss out on this incredible species—bring the Royal Purple Pinktoe home today and make it the crown jewel of your collection.
