Overview

The Antilles Pinktoe is known for beautiful color changes from metallic blue slings to pink and purple adults. This arboreal species creates impressive webbing structures throughout its enclosure.

Fast growing compared to most beginner species. Skittish but not aggressive - more likely to jump than bite. One of the most visually stunning species available to beginners.

Requires higher humidity than terrestrial species. Provide vertical space with cork bark or branches. Ensure good ventilation to prevent mold while maintaining humidity.
