Hello! I'm new to the hobby. I have recently acquired a Pinktoe (Avicularia avicularia) sling. I know a little about T's, but I was wondering if someone could help me find some info on taking care of it.
I would search this forum, from the main forum page, bottom right, for "pinktoe" or the species scientific name, "Avicularia Avicularia." That should give you some info - There is also caresheets located here: http://www.arachnopets.com/tarantulas/tcss.htm
Good luck, and welcome to one of the most addicting and interesting hobbies out there!
Welcome to the hobby!If you are interested in more starter species here is a few of them if you are interested in purchasing them
1.Pink Zebra Beauty
2.Chaco golden Knee
3.A.Versicolor
Those are just a few but welcome to the place where you can get hooked on Tarantulas!!
Yes! They are all fun - get used to the avic first, then you'll want to start adding to your collection once you realize how cheap and easy to care for they are...
I'd get a terrestrial (ground) spider next, for variety's sake. The pinktoe that you have now is an aboreal (tree) spider. They're built different, and overall, act different.
Another really good starter is a Brachypelma smithi (Mexican Red Knee). My B. smithi was my first lasting T, and she has survived all of mistakes along the way, no worse for the wear.
