Puerto Rican Pinktoe

Overview
A shy, beautiful Caribbean pinktoe. Like all Caribena/Avicularia, ventilation is everything — high humidity (75-80%) MUST be paired with strong cross-flow or stuffy warmth will kill it. Tall enclosure with plenty of vertical structure and plants to build a silk lair. Docile but skittish; has urticating hairs, mild venom.
