Avicularia juruensis M2 (1.5cm)

Avicularia juruensis M2 is one of the most beautiful arboreal birds of the genus Avicularia. For years, this species has been misclassified in the hobby or known by the trade name Avicularia sp. Peru Purple, which perfectly captures its unique appearance. It is native to the humid rainforests of the Amazon basin, where it leads an arboreal lifestyle. Appearance and characteristics: As an adult, Avicularia juruensis M2 is a true spectacle of color. Its entire body, including its legs, is covered with velvety, dense hairs in shades of metallic purple, navy blue and purple, creating an amazing effect in the light. The tips of the feet have the classic Pinktoe pink-orange hue. The offered baby (1.5 cm) will undergo a fascinating color change in the process of growing up, but already at this stage it shows the typical agility of the species. Behavior and venom: This species is valued for its very gentle nature. It rarely displays aggression, preferring to run or jump as a form of defense. It has a weak venom that is safe for healthy humans. They are extremely agile and jumping spiders, which should be taken into account when working in the terrarium. Watching them as they build intricate, tunnel-like nests out of spider webs is extremely fascinating. Breeding conditions: The basis for success in breeding this species is to ensure high humidity with excellent ventilation. Stagnant air is unfavorable for this species, so the terrarium should have a large area of ventilation holes. The decor should include vertical elements made of cork oak bark and vegetation that will allow the spider to build a safe shelter.
