Avicularia purpurea 3/4”

size 3/4”

Described in 1990 by Peter Kirk, this arboreal Ecuadorean tarantula is a real stunner. This spider has a black overall appearance but it’s a metallic purple color when the light hits it. Can be tricky to raise the slings of this species but the adults are super easy to keep once established. Reaching 5” as adults, this species is only sporadically available.
