Orange Tree Spider. Quite a good description of this species! Amazonius is a part of the group of new world arboreals that lack urticating hairs, and they make up for that lack of defense by having striking speed and aggressive take downs of prey. Amazonius germani makes for a great display tarantula, as their peachy orange color can easily catch one’s eye. As slings, they start out black and light orange, with a rib cage-like pattern on their abdomen, which fades into a peach orange as they grow.
This species is native to French Guiana, as well as spilling over into Suriname and northeastern Brazil. They spend a lot of time on trees and within silk retreats in crevices above the ground. This species reaches about 5 to 6 inches in legspan, and grows fairly quickly. A species not commonly kept, but certainly a great addition to those that love peaches with a bit of bite and kick!
