Caribena versicolor – Antilles Pinktoe Tarantula (Babies)

This is hands-down one of the most iconic and visually stunning tarantulas in the hobby. Caribena versicolor is famous for its unreal color transformation—babies start life as electric blue “blueberries,” then mature into a jaw-dropping mix of red, green, blue, and those classic pink toes. Calm, confident, and show-stopping, this species has earned its place as a true centerpiece and a must-have for beginners, intermediates, and long-time keepers alike.  

🔔 Special Notices
This is a climbing (arboreal) tarantula that thrives with vertical space and good airflow. If you want to see how I personally house, feed, and raise C. versicolor from tiny blue babies to vibrant adults, check out my YouTube channel:

Watch Care & Setup Videos
🛠️ Care Details
🌡️ Temperature 75–85°F (24–29°C). Warmer temperatures encourage faster growth due to more frequent molts.
💧 Humidity Around 75–80% inside the enclosure with excellent ventilation. Avoid stagnant, swampy conditions.
🏠 Housing
Babies Vial or small enclosure ~5" tall × 2" diameter with cross-ventilation. Vertical web anchors are important.
Juveniles Once over ~2", move to a 7–8" tall arboreal enclosure.
Adults 8–12" tall enclosure with cork bark, foliage, and plenty of anchor points for webbing.
🍽️ General Diet
Crickets and roaches (Dubia, Red Runner, Lobster). Babies take baby crickets or small roaches. If prey is too large, pre-kill and remove leftovers. We never use pinhead crickets—they don’t provide enough protein. Large specimens may receive an occasional pinky or feeder lizard very sparingly.

⚠️ Safety Disclaimer
Safety Disclaimer: Experiencing a tarantula bite is an extremely rare occurrence, and it's important to note that there have been NO recorded fatalities due to a tarantula bite. The venom potency varies across species, with Old World tarantulas having stronger venom than their New World counterparts.

If you happen to get bitten, which is unlikely, the key is to stay calm. In most cases, the discomfort is temporary and subsides within a few minutes to a few hours. However, bites from species with more potent venom may result in symptoms lasting up to a week.

Please be aware that I cannot assume responsibility for bites. Tarantula handling should be done at your own risk. In my 13 years of experience with these creatures, I have only been bitten once, by a species with highly potent venom. While the experience was painful, the symptoms had completely disappeared after a week.

Handle tarantulas responsibly, and always prioritize your safety and the well-being of the tarantula.
