    Nice video Rick,
    When I lived in England I was in the animal trade for some years, selling tropical fish.
    I never got around to stocking tarantulas. One reason being, that they were not so readily available in those days. There was a vegetable processing factory in the neighborhood, that imported onions from Spain and occasionally they had to deal with tarantulas which came in with some shipments, likely these found their way into the local pet-trade. Though I have to say, they were no where near as spectacular as your pink bird eater. That's something else!
    There was one memorable incident at the local supermarket. A member of staff opened a consignment of bananas and disturbed a Brazilian huntsman spider. I've no idea how big an adult specimen is but it inflicted some nasty bites on his face and he was quite ill for a while.

      @rickgonzales  3 роки тому +2

      Thank you Guilhermo, I appreciate that.! :) Sorry for the slow reply, I'm always so busy these days. I don't really have time to scroll through the comments. The banana story is kinda scary because Brazil does have a spider called "The Brazilian Wondering Spider" These are one of the most dangerous of spider and can kill a person. be careful my friend :) :) :)

    @BOOGiNS Рік тому +1

    Perfect example of how not to make a natural enclosure. This looks like a prison yard for a tarantula. Also there are 6 morphotypes of avicularia. And the Antilles pink toe is no longer an avic. It's genus is caribena, related to the caribena laeta.

    My pink toe eats nonstop. She'll eat two, sometimes three crickets at a time, in her grasp. She's young and hasn't molted yet. How often should I feed her? Whatever I put in she eats right-away. How long should I wait after she eats til I feed her again? Thoughts?

      3 Crickets once a week is good. As she matures to an adult you can spread out the feeding to once every two weeks :)

    Why won't you put the substrate everywhere

    • @rickgonzales
      @rickgonzales  2 роки тому +2

      The reason why is because the spider doesn't need it. The Pink toe is an arboreal species so it wants nothing to do with the ground or substrate. The only reason I put any in the cage at all is to add a little humidity to the cage.

      @nickstarantulas Рік тому +1

      Humidity is just moisture in the air. Room temperature is fine for all tarantulas. This is the Antilles pink toe which is a caribena versicolor the aviculara aviculara is the Guyana pink toe which is black with pink toes with some orange and white tipped hairs
