Product description

Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens (Green Bottle Blue Tarantula) The Green Bottle Blue is one of the most recognizable tarantulas in the entire hobby, and the color is exactly why. Adults show electric blue-green legs, a warm orange carapace (head), and a bright orange abdomen, a combination that has made this species a hobby favorite for years. This is a fast growing new world tarantula for sale that is as fun to watch build its home as it is to look at. Why do hobbyists keep Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens? Stunning Coloration: Electric blue-green legs paired with a warm orange carapace and abdomen make this one of the most iconic color combinations in the hobby. Heavy Webber: One of the most prolific webbers among terrestrials, often covering large sections of the enclosure in dense silk. Fast Grower: Grows quickly with regular feeding, making steady, visible progress between molts. Beginner Friendly: Straightforward care paired with standout color makes this an easy species to recommend to newer keepers. How should Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens be kept? Adult Size: Reaches about 5 inches at full leg span, a solid medium sized terrestrial. Enclosure: Provide a terrestrial setup roughly 3 times the leg span in width and depth, and 2 times the leg span in height, with substrate deep enough to support the opportunistic burrowing and heavy webbing this species is known for. At full adult size that works out to roughly 15 inches of footprint and 10 inches of height. Temperature: Keep between 75 to 85 degrees F, reflecting this species' warm, arid native range in Venezuela. Humidity: Keep this species on the drier side. Good ventilation matters more than added moisture, and overly damp substrate can cause more harm than good. Water: A shallow textured water dish works well, something they can grip when climbing out. Diet: Crickets, roaches, and similar feeders sized to about a quarter of the leg span, matching the width of the carapace (head). Feeds aggressively and grows quickly with regular feeding. Temperament: Fast and alert, quick to explore rather than stay tucked away. Can be skittish but generally more docile overall, not an aggressive or defensive species, though it can startle easily. Are there any additional notes or considerations? Expect Heavy Webbing: This species webs extensively, sometimes covering most of the visible enclosure. This is completely normal and part of the appeal rather than a sign of stress. Dry Environment Matters: Coming from an arid native range, this species does noticeably better in drier conditions than most other new world terrestrials. Captive Bred: All Tarantulas are 100% captive bred.
