Tarantula
Speed, attitude, color. Read the care guide before unboxing day.
Blue legs, orange abdomen, and a web castle in progress
Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens, the Green Bottle Blue or GBB, is one of the best display tarantulas in the hobby: bright color, heavy webbing, and a steady feeding response in a dry, well-ventilated setup. It is active enough to keep the enclosure interesting without stepping into true hot-headed Old World territory.
This drop is one 3-4 inch juvenile/subadult. Give it a mostly dry terrestrial setup with strong ventilation, a water dish, and plenty of cork or anchor points for webbing. It is quick and hair-capable, so keep it watch-only and read the matched GBB care guide before unboxing day.
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 →
