Here we have the epitome of a blue tarantula, the H. lividum. Yes, I know they’re in a genus/species revision right now and Cyriopagopus is the flavor of the month, but let’s give it some time and see if it does in fact stick. Until then, Haplopelma lividum. These are found on the riverbanks of Malaysia and Burma, and sport a dapper royal blue coat and a darker abdomen. The carapace is a tad lighter. They do best if allowed to burrow and temps of 78-84 with humidity to match are recommended. It is also recommended not to try to handle these. They will readily bite, and as I can attest, it isn’t a fun experience. Please don’t.
