Avicularia avicularia M6 (Giant Metallic Blue Pink Toe) 2-3" | 4" FEMALE | MM

All sizes offered now are field-collected from the Rupununi Region of Guyana. Females may be mated already.    The Giant Metallic BluePinktoe Tarantula, Avicularia avicularia morphotype 6 is a beautiful arboreal theraphosid that ranges from Guyana, French Guiana, Venezuela, Trinidad & Tobago, Suriname, and Brazil. This strain is a hobby classic that goes by several names. A. avicularia was originally described by the naturalist Carolus Linnaeus in 1758 and Morphotype #6 is distinct from all other A. avicularia strains in captivity in several ways. Most conspicuously, this strain reaches an impressive size [~6.75” leg span in mature females] and has a signature frosted appearance because all of their setae are highly grizzled. Additionally, the carapace and femurs are lighter blue and the abdominal guard setae are brownish-gray, rather than red as in the typical of the standard Guyana Pinktoe (A. metallica Morphotype #1).   This species can be maintained similarly to other pinktoe
