Brazilian Blue Tarantula for sale from Big Z's (Lasiocyano sazimai). Spice-rated with keeper notes, packed for live arrival where eligible.
Electric blue, without going Old World for it
Lasiocyano sazimai (you may know it by its old name, Pterinopelma sazimai) is the Brazilian Blue: a New World terrestrial from the rocky highland outcrops of Brazil that matures into one of the bluest tarantulas in the entire hobby. Slings look drab and unpromising, then molt by molt the metallic blue floods in.
Here is the appeal: you get that jaw-dropping blue with New World genetics. A hardy spider, a relaxed-ish disposition, and a feeding response like a coin slot. Great pick for a keeper who wants a showpiece color animal but is not ready to commit to a fast, defensive Old World. Two things keep it just past true-beginner, though: it is more skittish and bolt-prone than the classic rock-dwellers, and slings dry out easily, so the early-stage moisture gradient actually matters. Urticating hairs present; not a handling spider, just an approachable, gorgeous one to keep and display.
The numbers live in the care guide. Enclosure size, temps, humidity, feeding schedule, premolt signs, handling boundaries: it's all in the care guide for this exact fella. Start with the full Advanced guide, or click for the quick Open the Simple version →
