The Madi Gras Pink Toe (Avicularia sp. Madi Gras)

An Extremely Rare Fuzzy Gold Pink Toe  

Get ready to meet one of the most dazzling pinktoe species to ever hit the U.S. hobby—the Mardi Gras Pinktoe! Aptly named for its carnival of colors, this stunning arboreal tarantula flaunts brilliant hues of gold, purple, red, and blue, all wrapped up in a fluffy, almost ethereal package. It’s like nature dipped this spider in a Mardi Gras parade! Furthermore, the Mardi Gras Pinktoe is a medium-sized arboreal species, reaching about 5 to 5.5 inches in diagonal leg span (DLS). Despite their manageable size, what really sets this species apart is its sweet temperament—both my adult female and her offspring have proven incredibly tolerant of handling, a trait that’s often rare among small-to-medium Avicularia species, which are usually more jumpy and skittish.

Rare and Exclusive!

Amazingly, this species is brand new to the U.S. market, and as far as I know, I’m proud to be the first to produce a successful egg sac within the state’s! With only a limited clutch of slings available, this is a rare opportunity to own a piece of hobby history. That being said, If you’re looking for a show-stopping centerpiece tarantula that’s as gentle as it is gorgeous, the Mardi Gras Pinktoe is your dream come true. But act fast—I only have a handful of slings available, and once they’re gone, there’s no telling when this rarity will hit the market again!

Care & Husbandry Guide

🏠 Enclosure & Substrate

Provide a vertically oriented arboreal enclosure with strong cross-ventilation, upright cork bark, foliage, and multiple elevated webbing anchors. This species will establish its retreat toward the upper portions of the enclosure, so usable vertical structure is considerably more important than deep substrate. Provide a modest substrate layer below and increase enclosure size as the animal grows.

🌡️ Temperature & Humidity

Maintain comfortable room temperatures around 70–75°F. As with your other Avicularia, prioritize excellent cross-ventilation over chasing a specific humidity percentage. Occasional light misting can provide accessible hydration, but the enclosure should ventilate well between applications. This is especially important because excessively damp conditions combined with inadequate airflow can create unhealthy stagnant conditions. 

 🍽️ Feeding & Water 

Offer appropriately sized crickets or roaches approximately once per week, adjusting according to the spider’s appetite and abdomen condition. Lightly mist part of the webbing approximately once a week to provide accessible drinking droplets, and introduce an appropriately sized water dish as the specimen becomes larger. Remove uneaten prey during premolt and avoid maintaining continuously saturated conditions.

🕷️ Species-Specific Care 

The Mardi Gras Pink Toe, is an extremely rare undescribed Peruvian arboreal famous for its unusual combination of purple, green, and gold coloration—the same three colors associated with Mardi Gras and the reason behind its common name. This form has only been circulating in the hobby relatively recently and remains considerably harder to find than most commonly available Pink Toes. Your well-started specimens are already beyond the tiniest sling stage and should be provided with excellent cross-ventilation, elevated cork, and plenty of anchor points for constructing a web retreat. Current husbandry sources characterize the species as somewhat jumpy but generally not defensive.the Mardi Gras Pink Toe, is an extremely rare undescribed Peruvian arboreal famous for its unusual combination of purple, green, and gold coloration—the same three colors associated with Mardi Gras and the reason behind its common name.
