Bahia Scarlet

**Bahia Scarlet** — A striking arboreal species endemic to Bahia state, Brazil. Slings display vivid scarlet-red coloration on the abdomen that fades with age to rich orange-brown tones. Related to *Avicularia* and requires similar cross-ventilated, vertical enclosure setup. Humidity should be high but air circulation is critical — stagnant humidity is fatal. Provide cork bark tubes or driftwood for webbing anchor points. A rarer species in the hobby, increasingly popular as captive breeding programs expand.
