Tarantulas:: Chromatopelma cyanopubescans
Temperment: nervous, shy
Habitat: burrowing/opportunistic, tropical
Care: intermediate keepers

A beautiful gem of a tarantula, the green bottle blue is arguably among the top ten most gorgeous spiders. With deep blue legs, a blue-green cephalothorax, and bright orange rump these beauties are sure to impress even non-aracnophiles. These spiders are very fast-growing. When bought as spiderlings they can reach adult size within 1-2 years. They build elaborate webs much like that of P. murinus. They are nervous but not at all aggressive.
