Common Name: Singapore Blue Tarantula
Scientific Name: Omothymus violaceopes

Status: Captive Bred

Country of origin - Singapore & Malaysia
Habitat: Tree dwelling
Suitability:  Not for beginners / Fast & aggressive

My Opinion:
These spiders are magnificent, the colours are beautiful and the adult females are a stunning iridescent blue. The adult males look very different to the females, they lack the bright colours but have incredibly long legs, they are also quite beautiful. These spiders spend a lot of time in a thick web and prefer to venture out during the night. They are generally very aggressive when disturbed and fast moving.

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!)

If you would like me to measure the body length of any medium or large spider, please send me an email. I cannot measure the body length of small and juvenile size spiders as they are constantly changing.

All spiders are unsexed unless stated.
