Avicularia bicegoi (Brazilian Wooly Pink Toe Tarantula)

Avicularia bicegoi is a mid-sized New World arboreal from Brazil with a notably wooly, textured appearance. Juveniles start with the typical pink and black coloration before developing a heavier, woollier coat of setae as they mature. The fluffy, teddy bear look is a major selling point.

Why do hobbyists keep Avicularia bicegoi?

• Fluffy Appearance: The heavy coat of setae gives adults a wooly, teddy bear look that stands out from most pink toes.
• Color Change Throughout Life: Juveniles have the familiar pink and black look before developing into the heavier, woollier adult form with a purple hue on the abdomen.
• Great Display Species: Builds visible silk retreats up high and stays near the entrance once settled.
• Docile Temperament: Keeps the calm pink toe disposition.

How should Avicularia bicegoi be kept?

• Enclosure: Arboreal setup with roughly 2 times the leg span as the footprint and 3 times the leg span as the height. Vertical cork bark, foliage, and anchor points. Good ventilation is critical. Cross ventilation works best, but ample top ventilation can also be effective as long as the enclosure is not over-misted.
• Temperature: 75 to 85 degrees F ideal. Avoid prolonged temps below 65 degrees F.
• Humidity: Moderate to high. Slightly moist substrate with strong airflow.
• Water: Provide a shallow water dish placed in an elevated position if possible.
• Diet: Crickets, roaches, or similar prey sized to the carapace (head).
• Temperament: Calm and manageable. Fast when startled but rarely defensive.

Are there any additional notes or considerations?

• Sling Care: We rear our slings in larger enclosures with natural cork bark and foliage from day one. Combined with weekly feeding, this produces stronger, more resilient animals.
• Captive Bred: All our animals are 100% captive bred.
