The Brazilian Blue Tarantula is a hobby classic for a reason, an eye catching terrestrial species out of Brazil known for shimmering metallic coloration that can come through as a vivid blue or a rich purple depending on the individual, both equally stunning. This is a new world tarantula for sale that brings real color to the terrestrial side of the hobby without asking for advanced care in return.

Why do hobbyists keep Lasiocyano sazimai?

• Stunning Coloration: A shimmering metallic sheen that shows up as either blue or purple, both striking and both true to the Brazilian Blue name.
• Docile Temperament: Mostly calm and easygoing for a terrestrial species, making it approachable for keepers at almost any experience level.
• Beginner Friendly: Straightforward care requirements paired with standout color make this a great pick for someone building out their first collection.
• Great Display Species: An opportunistic burrower rather than a deep digger, so it stays visible and active on the surface, especially in the evening.

How should Lasiocyano sazimai be kept?

• Adult Size: Reaches about 4 to 5 inches at full leg span, a manageable size with plenty of visual presence.
• Enclosure: Choose an enclosure at least twice the leg span in width, depth, and height. At full adult size that works out to roughly 10 inches in each dimension, with a hide included for security.
• Temperature: 65-75°F, normal room temperature works well.
• 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: Mostly docile and calm, making it a genuinely approachable terrestrial species to keep and observe.

Are there any additional notes or considerations?

• Two Color Forms: This species can show up as either a vivid blue or a rich purple. Both color forms occur naturally within the species, so part of the fun is seeing which one develops as the animal matures.
• Ventilation Matters: Proper ventilation helps prevent condensation from building up inside the enclosure, which keeps this species healthy long term.
• Captive Bred: All Tarantulas are 100% captive bred.
