About
The Antilles Pinktoe (Caribena versicolor) is an arboreal beauty from Martinique that transforms from blue slings into an iridescent green, red and violet adult, reaching a 12–15cm leg span. Relatively calm, it nonetheless demands a careful balance of high humidity (70–80%) and good ventilation, making it an intermediate species prone to problems if kept stagnant. Maintained at 24–28°C, it is fed crickets, flies and dubia roaches about weekly. As an arboreal, it needs a tall vertically oriented enclosure.
