Care & Husbandry Guide

🏠 Enclosure & Substrate

Use a vertical arboreal enclosure with plenty of ventilation holes along the sides. Add upright cork bark, branches, and artificial or live foliage to give the tarantula climbing surfaces and plenty of places to attach its webbing. A few inches of coco fiber or similar substrate at the bottom is sufficient since this species spends most of its time above ground. As it grows, upgrade to a taller enclosure with enough room for a large web retreat.

🌡️ Temperature & Humidity

Keep C. versicolor around 72–78°F with moderate humidity and plenty of fresh airflow. They do not need a constantly wet enclosure, and keeping them overly humid without proper ventilation can cause problems. Light misting around the webbing and occasionally moistening a small area of substrate is plenty for most setups. The goal is good hydration without stagnant conditions.

 🍽️ Feeding & Water 

Caribena versicolor are surprisingly easy to care for once their basic arboreal needs are met. This species thrives in a well-ventilated vertical enclosure with plenty of cross-ventilation and climbing surfaces such as cork bark or branches. Airflow is extremely important, so avoid stagnant, overly humid setups. Instead, maintain moderate humidity with good ventilation and temperatures around 72–78°F. Given these conditions, the Antilles Pinktoe will reward keepers with beautiful webbing, active behavior, and steady growth, making it one of the most enjoyable arboreal tarantulas to keep.
