[QUOTE="TherophosaRex2003, post: 236639, member: 49060"] I'm back at it again with another caresheet I need help on. I just found out about this species recently and decided this is one I want in my collection and started researching, though I can't much on this species and instead have found info mostly from sources talking about Avics in general, heck it's similar to the point where I copied and pasted onto here. So if there is anything I need to rework, remove, or add please let me know, so I can be as accurate as possible. Also pardon the grammer. Purple Pink Toe Tarantula Care Scientific Name: Avicularia purpurea Lifespan: Males: 2-3 years Females: 8-12 years Size: 4-6 inches Enclosure Type: Arboreal* Enclosure Size: Adult: 3.5-10-gallon tanks* Juvie-Sling: 3-4x’s the length of spider in vertical space* Enclosure Setup: 1. Couple inches to 1/3 full of substrate 2. Cork bark along the side of the enclosure along with decor (moss, leaves, branches, twigs, plants either real or fake) * 3. Water dish in an accessible spot Substrate Option: Premade substrates, Coco fiber, Peat moss, Temp: 70-85*F or Room Temp Humidity: Just always keep water bowl full or drip water down one corner, so they can drink off the webs* Food Sling: 1 small cricket or roach, any prey pre killed/ no bigger than 2/3 of the sling’s size Juvie: 2 medium crickets Adult: 2-3 large crickets, some meal/waxworms for variety Feeding Schedule* (If this is someone reviewing this or is pet sitting, please look at notes) Cleaning: Remove uneaten prey after 24 hours, be careful as the urticating hairs can get stuck in the enclosure so wear gloves, deep clean every few months Notes: Notes: The 3-4x’s the length of the spider applies to adults as well, Enclosure must be VERY well ventilated, if/when using fake plants best go with plastic and not fabric, Feeders can hide in the moss so don’t put too much, Feeding depends on the size of the abdomen (if it’s bigger than the head feed less, if it’s smaller feed more), To know when to feed look to see if they’re pointing their head towards the ground, Overflow the water dish a couple of times a week and let the substrate dry out before doing it again, but this also depends on the climate and season also No Misting [/QUOTE]
