ANTILLES PINKTOE TARANTULA (juvenile)  (Avicularia versicolor)  ©igor siwanowicz Note: This is a corrected post. Thanks to @jadeneternal for notifying me that the cobalt blue tarantula was mis-identified, it was actually this tarantula — a juvenile Antilles Pinktoe. I corrected that photo, and am reposting this one. If you ever see something misidentifed on my site, PLEASE do let me know. Thanks! The Antilles pinktoe tarantula, also known as the Martinique Red Tree Spider or the Martinique Pinktoe, is native to Guadeloupe and Martinique in the Caribbean Sea, but is a popular spider pet due to its docile character and unique coloration. Antilles pinktoes are naturally docile, although they are quick and can jump up to 30 cm far or high. Bites from this type of spider are rare, if provoked it flees. Bites are not dangerous; comparable to a wasp sting.
