Electric Blue Tarantula for sale from Big Z's (Chilobrachys natanicharum). Spice-rated keeper notes, care guidance, and live-arrival packing where eligible.
Metallic blue legs disappearing down a silk-lined tunnel you built for it.
Chilobrachys natanicharum is the Thai species the hobby carried for years as Chilobrachys sp. "Electric Blue" before it was formally described, and the trade name stuck because it is accurate: mature animals show a hard metallic blue across the legs with a violet cast on the carapace. Choose the 0.75-inch captive-bred sling or the 2-3-inch wild-caught variant, measured by leg span. Colour develops over successive molts. Adults reach roughly 5 to 6.5 inches across.
This is a deep fossorial spider and a heavy webber, which is an unusual combination: it digs a proper burrow and then silks over the surface as well, so most of what you see is architecture rather than spider. Give it 8 inches or more of packed substrate it can tunnel through, plenty of anchor points, and a secure lid. It is fast, Old World, and strictly no-handling, with rehousing done through a container rather than by hand. Spice Level 4: Advanced. The matched Big Z's care guide covers the deep burrow build.
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 →
