The Antilles Pink Toe Tarantula's scientific name, Caribena versicolor, translates as, "The Caribbean spider that changes colors." Born sapphire blue with a distinct pattern, they gradually change to being metallic pink overall with a teal cephalothorax, as adults. Changes like these, that...

Hello again! When I went to water and feed my caribena versicolor, he seemed very sluggish and uninterested in the worm. He's usually very quick when hunting! I also noticed he's been spending more time near the base of his webbing/enclosure. Is this normal for a juvenile T heading into premolt??

Hello, my name is Sean. I have always wanted a tarantula to add to my growing collection of deeply loved critters. Currently, I have 2 bearded dragons and a dog after having to relinquish my large fish tanks to good homes when I moved. I have recently acquired a Caribena Versicolor from my local...

My first T. Got it from fear not June 22. Was around 1/2 in.

Came home to find this guy/gal out on full display

Looks like these guys are ready for a rehouse

Took some pics while rehousing

Sac spotted 10/10/2021. Feeling cute, might pull today.

Have a mature C Versi that I found on his back in a sperm web about 6 days ago. Looking to sale or trade. I posted a couple of pics that I took during a rehouse before his ultimate molt. PM or Comment if interested.

Hello, I’ve kept two c versicolors previously in these exoterra enclosures except they had steel mesh tops which was a ton of ventilation. I replaced the tops with plastic to help retain heat in these colder months and to avoid their feet getting stuck in the mesh (it happened at once with my...
