Description
Ybyrapora gamba – Purple Diamond Pink Toe Tarantula
Introducing Ybyrapora gamba, the Purple Diamond Pink Toe — one of the most visually spectacular arboreal tarantulas in the hobby. A close relative of the beloved Avicularia, this Brazilian rainforest species takes the pink toe formula and elevates it to an entirely new level. Juveniles display an electric blue iridescence that gradually transitions into rich purple and violet tones on the carapace and abdomen as the animal matures, all accented by the signature pink-tipped toes of the group. Diamond-patterned setae on the abdomen complete a look that is genuinely unlike anything else in the New World arboreal category.
Fast-moving and alert, Y. gamba is an active display species that will web up its enclosure and spend time in the open — making it as enjoyable to observe as it is to own. Its rarity in captivity and jaw-dropping coloration make every available specimen a genuine find.
