Beautiful Blue

pimpin_posey · Mar 13, 2006

Any one wanna post names, pics, and where i get one of the most beautiful blue T's. Purple or greens are awsome too

Midnightrdr456 · Mar 13, 2006

a decent T thats blue is a GBB

also depending on your experience there are others Lividiums, and P Metallicas are both beautiful. And Cyriopagopus sp "blue" are also stunning. But all those are expensive (especially the blue and metallica), and require better ability to care for.

The best colored ones take some experience. How new are you to the hobby? We can better apply a T to you based on your experience.

Midnightrdr456 · Mar 13, 2006

yea like soulsick said, usually the beautiful ones tend to be more difficult lol. Actually a BEAUTIFUL one that isnt tough at all (except for during Sling stages) is A. Versicolor

Fierce Deity · Mar 13, 2006

Blue, purple, green....yup, all of those colours are in an A. versicolor at some point.

everyone likes the blue ones, that's why they're so expensive.

Cyriopagopus sp. "blue" (expensive!)

Poecilotheria metallica (expensive!)

These are great too, not quite as blue, but much cheaper and just as good.

chromatopelma cyaneopubescens

avicularia purpurea (purple)

avicularia versicolor (technicolor!)

I ordered a GBB, OBT, and versicolor all together and have had no trouble. I think it's because I'd catch spiders as a kid and I know hope they act for the most part. And as far as humidity and such, do your damn research. You can easily kill your tarantula if you don't put it in something that mimics its natural environment. I hate seeing YouTube videos where the soil is still soaked from them mixing the brick when it's something like the Murinus or a Boehmei. My goodness...the humidity isn't insanely high where they live! I'm pretty sure Kenya Africa is like a desert...I could be wrong though.

Quite a record, reviving a 9 year old thread...lol.

Why are you so upset?? :? I'm not seeing anyone here who advised keeping an OBT or Brachy on moist substrate :? No one even gave husbandry advice, how can you give husbandry advice if you don't know what T OP wants to buy? It would be like giving advice regarding GBB husbandry when OP actually wants a Ephebopus... OP just asked what Ts are blue

And no... kenya is not a desert. The climate ranges from warm humid and tropical on the coastline, and cooler inland where it's mainly savannah grassland and bushveld. Further inland it's more hot and dry around the Nyanza region, and then humid around lake victoria. The only parts of kenya that is semi-arid to arid is the north-eastern regions along the borders of Somalia and Ethiopia, having a near-desert scrubland landscape. Kenya has a very diverse climate consisting mostly of dry savannah grassland, bushland and scrubland. Mount Kenya has snow permanently on it's peaks. Although Kenya is very dry, it most definitely is not a sandy desert, if you referred to a desert such as that of the Sahara.

Did anyone mention H lividum?

I always champion the GBBs, especially for new owners not looking to handle, but I see they got shout outs already on the thread.
