Earth Tigers



No discussion of Tarantulas would be complete without a mention of the Cobalt Blue Tarantula. Many People wouldn't consider spiders as the prettiest creatures on the planet, but as arachnids go, this one is a beauty queen. They mostly live in burrows in Asia from Myanmar to South China, some also live in trees.

They have been known to bite when threatened and are considered more aggressive than other types of Tarantula, so although impressive to look at, they might not be the friendliest of pets to keep. Even the young spiderlings show aggression so I wouldn't recommend contact.



Spiderfacts:

  • They like humidity and spin large webs
  • Fully grown, they are about 5 1/2 inches in leg span
  • They are secretive creatures who like their 'alone time'
