Avicularia cf. purpurea 'Colombia' (Colombian Purple Pink Toe Tarantula) for sale
This really neat purple species from Colombia is awesome!
Very similar to the infamous Avicularia purpurea (Purple Pink Toe) this species grows to a similar size, and ends up with an amazing purple coloration as well as orange markings on the abdomen!
As slings this species looks nearly identical to the more common 'Purple Pink Toe' but as it grows it gains these amazing orange stripes on the abdomen that will fade some when they mature, but some does remain on the abdomen, but it is not as vibrant as the juveniles.
This differs from purpurea, which are basically grey until they get their purple coloration at about 2" DLS.
In science the 'cf' essentially means "similar to" and is applied to species that are similar to those that we know, but we suspect are different.
That is why we applied that name here. Essentially this species is a "locality" of purpurea (for lack of better term). We recognize 3 similar species to purpurea: a northern Ecuador, the southern Ecuador and then the Colombia variant. All are primarily purple species with that deep purple and black base color, and then different features that define the different species. In this case, that would be the orange markings on the abdomen which is awesome!
