Green Bottle Blue Tarantula for sale from Big Z's (Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens). Spice-rated keeper notes, care guidance, and live-arrival packing where eligible.
Electric-blue legs, a tangerine abdomen, and a silk fortress it builds just because it can
Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens, the Green Bottle Blue or GBB, is one of the best display tarantulas in the hobby. Metallic blue legs, a burnt-orange abdomen, and a green-tinged carapace come out of the arid scrub of Venezuela looking almost painted on. Give it cork and anchor points and it turns the whole enclosure into a heavy silk castle, then sits out front with a steady, confident feeding response. Bright, busy, always doing something: this is a spider people stop to watch.
The GBB is a New World species, so it stays clear of true hot-headed Old World territory, but it is quick and hair-capable, which makes it a watch-only, hands-off animal. Care is refreshingly simple for an intermediate keeper: a mostly dry terrestrial setup, strong ventilation, a water dish, and lots to web on. Rate it Spice 3, best for keepers with a little experience who want color and activity without the bite risk of an advanced species. Read the matched GBB care guide before unboxing day so setup and first feeding go smoothly.
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 →
