Brazilian Blue-Green Pink Toe Tarantula (Avicularia geroldi)
SIP Code: IL-NW-AR-S-014
Region: Southeastern Brazil – humid forest canopy

Lore Fragment
"Perched in the high canopy where the rain never fully dries, Avicularia geroldi moves like mist through moss-draped branches—its legs glinting blue-green in the filtered light. In the local dialects, it’s simply called the Ghost in the Vines."

Collection: Pink Toe Pantheon

Overview
The Avicularia geroldi is a striking arboreal tarantula known for its velvety blue-green tones and gentle disposition. Sought after for its subtle iridescence and graceful movement, this species thrives in vertically-oriented enclosures and is favored by keepers seeking a calm, canopy-dwelling specimen.

Unlike many faster-growing New World species, A. geroldi exhibits a steadier growth curve, offering new keepers a rewarding and accessible entry into arboreal husbandry.
