The Antilles pinktoe is one of the most colourful tarantulas. Slings are bright blue, and adults turn green, red and purple.
Like other pinktoes, it needs very good cross ventilation. Keep the substrate mostly dry, give a water dish, and mist one corner lightly now and then. Too much moisture is a common cause of death.
It is calm but quick. Work slowly around the open enclosure.
