Here boils and ghouls, we have an anomaly. Most of the Avicularia species in Ecuador, Peru and neighboring Bolivia are dark as chilluns. This one mirrors the classic reverse pattern of Avicularia avicularia with the orange body, black abdomen and black socks, and also mirrors the finished product of Avic avic only with a more pronounced purple wash about the entire body. They also attain a respectable 5″ in legspan, and while bouncy, are generally a gentle species. They appreciate temps in the 72-78 range and humidity of 75%.
