The juveniles are pink and the ends of the feet are black. The juveniles at 4 to 5 cm are considered to be the most beautiful, and the red abdomen is very deep but has not changed to the black abdomen of the adult individual.
Compared with other less common species of the same genus, pink-footed spiders are relatively inexpensive and less difficult to raise, and they are also considered as entry-level species of the genus Avicularia.
