My Opinion:
A stunning spider and always popular with tarantula enthusiasts. They do tend to spend a lot of time sitting in their burrow but when they emerge it is worth the wait. Even when in a burrow they tend to sit with their vivid blue 'fangs' on show. I have a great photo of a Blue Fang that I framed and put in the living room. My family keep sticking it back in my office, much to my annoyance as it is far too pretty to hide away (in my opinion).  I wouldn't try handling one of these, they are fast moving and can be rather grumpy when disturbed.

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.
