Chilobrachys sp 'Tropical Blue' Tarantula

Chilobrachys sp. 'Tropical Blue'

This brilliant teal colored tarantula is a stunner, with blue visible on the sides and tops of the legs while the rest of the body stays a soft grey. Both females and males exhibit this amazing spectrum of blue, almost like a dusting of pixie dust across the legs. Even as slings, this species is distinguishable from other Chilobrachys, showing extra leggy proportions and noticeably larger toe pads, almost like a cross between Poecilotheria and Avicularia at that early stage.

Why do hobbyists keep Chilobrachys sp. 'Tropical Blue'?

• Stunning Coloration: Blue across the sides and tops of the legs against a soft grey body, a striking, almost "pixie dust" effect in both sexes.
• Heavy Webber: Builds noticeable webbing typical of the genus, including web hammocks even at the sling stage.
• Rare in the Hobby: A genuinely unique species with unusual taxonomy and leg proportions unlike its Chilobrachys relatives.

How should Chilobrachys sp. 'Tropical Blue' be kept?

• Adult Size: Reaches approximately 5 to 6 inches at full leg span, in line with similar species in the genus.
• Enclosure: Choose an enclosure at least twice the leg span in width, depth, and height, with a hide included for security.
• Temperature: Keep between 65 to 75 degrees F.
• Humidity: Keep the substrate damp but not saturated, resembling the texture and color of coffee grounds. Organic coconut fiber works well since it resists mold and holds humidity steadily.
• Water: A shallow textured water dish works well, something they can grip when climbing out.
• Diet: Crickets, roaches, or mealworms sized to about a quarter of the leg span, matching the width of the carapace (head). Feed at least once a week.
• Temperament: Fast and alert, it carries a medically significant bite typical of old world species, so this is a display only animal. We do not encourage or recommend handling with any of our tarantulas, old world species especially.

Are there any additional notes or considerations?

• Distinct Sling Look: Even as babies, this species stands apart from other Chilobrachys with its leggier build and larger toe pads.
• Captive Bred: All Tarantulas are 100% captive bred.
