Chilobrachys sp vietnam blue Female (6cm)

Chilobrachys sp. Vietnam Blue is a captivating Old World species native to the lush, humid rainforests of Vietnam. It is highly sought after for its unique aesthetics – while the primary body color is dark brown or black, the legs of this female exhibit a stunning metallic blue shimmer. This blue hue is structural and is most striking under direct light.

Temperament and Venom: As a typical Asian Old World species, it is exceptionally fast, defensive, and possesses potent venom. Lacking urticating hairs, it relies on its speed and defensive posture when threatened. A female of this size is highly reactive and bold. Therefore, it is strictly recommended for advanced keepers who are comfortable managing defensive animals.

Husbandry: In captivity, this species is a prolific webber. It will quickly transform its enclosure into a complex network of thick silken tunnels. It requires high humidity (around 80%) and temperatures between 25-28°C. Provide a thick layer of moist substrate and various anchor points like cork bark for its webbing. Proper ventilation is vital to maintain a healthy environment.
