Meet our Antilles Pink-Toed Tarantula! Catch a glimpse of this stunning spider until October 31 at our Spiders Around the World Exhibition! Native to the Caribbean, the Antilles Pink-Toed Tarantula thrives in tropical rainforests with a diet composed of flying insects and some vertebrates like small lizards. These tarantulas are renowned for creating hammock-like structures which form intricate silk retreats in tree branches to house their eggs and spiderlings.
