Color question need help for next order

[Pearl Dusenbery]

Ok. I'm working on my next order and I already have a T. Strimi in my cart but I want something that will be purple as an adult as that is my favorite color. I really like the iridescent look but am not picky. I am going to venture into arborial species. Looking at A. Versicolor. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks

Well there is always A Purpurea. Very purple. Haven't had one myself but I do remember seeing someone comment that they aren't the best beginning avic. Don't remember why though.

I did some short research and found out that they shoot poop at u when they feel threatened and they tend to jump as juveniles. That could be why they were not recommended.

They both r beautiful I can't decide. I think I'll get both!!!! Don't tell my hubby

Any Avicularia will projectile poop. Many are jumpy when little. If not A. purpurea would be my choice.

I learned the jumpy the hard way when rehouseing. Ran out of dram up my hand and jumped. Luckly i use a rehouse tub

Mine hasn't GG allined me and threw its poop at me, and if it did i didnt even notice. I also heard they have terrible aim according to Stanley A Schulitz and if you dont know who that is.. Then no more Ts until you read his book.

Got pooped on by an AF A. metallica. Was still new to the hobby, so was very surprised.

Thanks. I've been looking for them but couldn't find anyone that actually had them in stock.

Sure do. The Bible is the first thing I got before I ordered my first sling this time around. I wanted to b prepared this time rather than trying to learn on the fly

For a purple Avic, A. purpurea would be my choice. It's another species that is on my ever growing wishlist.
Have, recently, seen them available at a few different places/vendors.

 

[Pearl Dusenbery]

What about terrestrial species? Are there any purple ones there?

It kinda looks like my naked lady's when they bloom. They're a pinkish purple flower that blooms late summer.
