Chilobrachys sp 'Tropical Blue' Tarantula for sale
This brilliant teal colored tarantula is a stunner and you can see blue on the sides and tops of the legs, but the rest of the body is a grey color.
Females and males will exhibit this amazing spectrum of blue and it looks like "pixie dust" stickers (best way I can describe) the coloration is not just one color but a gradient from bright tropical blue/teal to bright blue and sparkles in the coloration in person depending on the angle you are at. (Straight on gives you that bright tropical blue color).
Unlike the other species in the genus, this species exhibits arboreal behavior since they live on rock cliff faces. You can see they even have extra large toe pads on their legs and do not dig much at all. Slings will even make web hammocks like pink toe species.
As slings this species is also grey and distinguishable from all other Chilobrachy. They are also extra leggy, and even as babies you can notice the larger toe pads (they kind of look like a cross between Poecilotheria and Avicularia slings)
I was one of the first to have these in the USA and I will say that this is one of my favorite species of all time, due to their unique coloration, amazing color and interesting behavior/taxonomy.
This is a RARE opportunity to get in on these so don't miss it! Well started slings available today.
