Information about the Cobalt Blue Tarantula:

The Cobalt Blue Tarantula medium size spider native to the tropical rain forests of southeast Asia. Living in the rainforest, they construct deep burrows, which they leave normally only to hunt for prey. They have a leg span of approximately five inches (thirteen centimeters) 13 cm (5"). This arachnid is remarkable for its iridescent blue legs and light gray prosoma and opisthosoma, the latter of which may contain darker gray chevrons. Males and females look the same until the ultimate (final) molt of the males. At this point the male will exhibit sexual dimorphism in the form of a light tan or bronze coloration and legginess. The female will becomes larger than the male and will live longer. These spiders are especially popular in the pet trade due to their beauty and ability to do well in captivity.
