Common Name: Cobalt Blue Tarantula
Scientific Name: Cyriopagopus lividum

Status: Wild caught
       

Country of origin - Thailand
Habitat: Ground dwelling

Suitability:  Not for beginners!

My Opinion:
The Cobalt Blue has the most beautiful iridescent blue colouring. They are very aggressive and fast moving tarantulas but so gorgeous that they are a very popular pet spider and highly sought after. I certainly wouldn't recommend them for beginners and I most certainly would never recommend handling one (it would undoubtedly bite you). They do tend to burrow a lot and therefore require a deeper layer of substrate than some other species.

It is difficult to give a size for the spiders as stock is constantly changing. Generally, the small size is a spiderling up to 1.5cm body length (small will be SMALL), juvenile is a grown on spiderling with a body length of about 1.5cm, medium 2cm to 4cm and a large is 4cm to fully adult (but a lot depends on the species!)

I am happy to send a photo of any medium or large size spider that you are interested in, just email me!

All spiders are unsexed unless stated.
