Pinktoe Tarantula (Aviculara avicularia) - Care and breeding

They have no real defense mechanism, with this species rarely attempting to bite. They are also unable to spit their hairs, instead they have to force them into their victim. These are not comunal tarnatulas.

Enclosure and feeding:

An ideal enclosure should consist of a 4 gallon tank (give or take a gallon or so), and furnished with lots of climbing material, including cork bark, logs, and fake plants. The bottom of the enclosure should be lined with a layer of substrate, eco earth of peat does the job well, to help retain humidity. A water dish should also be provided. Temperatures should be around 25c. They will tackle most insects, including crickets, locusts, roaches and many other livefood available in your local pet shop. They should be fed 3-4 crickets per week.
