Avicularia purpurea – The mysterious beauty among the tree dwellers<\/span><\/h3>\n
\n

Avicularia purpurea<\/span><\/strong>also known as the purple tarantula, is one of the most impressive arboreal tarantulas in the terrarium world. Their unusual coloration is particularly striking. The animals have a dark base color that shimmers in intense violet to purple reflections depending on the incidence of light. This color is particularly impressive under good lighting and makes this species a real eye-catcher in the terrarium. <\/span><\/p>\n

In the wild, Avicularia purpurea<\/strong> lives in the tropical regions of South America. There it mainly lives in trees and shrubs. It therefore belongs to the so-called tree-dwelling tarantulas. It also clearly demonstrates this behavior in the terrarium. The animals prefer to seek out elevated places and build their typical webbed tubes between branches, plants or pieces of bark. <\/span><\/p>\n

A high-built terrarium is therefore suitable <\/span>high-built terrarium<\/span> much better than a shallow tank. Branches, cork bark, twigs and plants create a natural environment and at the same time provide the spider with sufficient climbing opportunities. Such structures encourage natural behavior and also provide safe places to retreat to. <\/span><\/p>\n

Humidity also plays an important role. <\/span>humidity<\/span>which should ideally be between <\/span>75 and 85 %<\/span> should be kept. To ensure that stable conditions develop, the terrarium can be lightly sprayed regularly. At the same time, however, there should always be a <\/span>Good ventilation<\/span> be present. Fresh air prevents stagnant moisture and ensures a healthy terrarium climate. <\/span><\/p>\n

Avicularia purpurea<\/strong> is generally regarded as a rather peaceful tarantula. Nevertheless, many animals react very quickly when disturbed and usually flee in a flash. These rapid movements in particular can surprise inexperienced keepers. This species is therefore more suitable for terrarium keepers who already have some experience with tarantulas. <\/span><\/p>\n

Avicularia purpurea<\/strong> is uncomplicated when it comes to feeding. The animals take various <\/span>Feeding insects<\/span> such as crickets, cockroaches or other suitable food animals. A varied diet supports growth and ensures healthy development of the spider. <\/span><\/p>\n

With its intense purple coloration, elegant physique and typical arboreal behavior, the <\/span>Avicularia purpurea<\/span><\/strong> is one of the most fascinating tarantulas in the terrarium hobby. If you provide it with a well-structured terrarium with sufficient climbing structures and a stable climate, you will be able to enjoy this extraordinary species for a long time. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
