Essential Facts About the Green Bottle Blue Tarantula

Thinking of adding a Green Bottle Blue Tarantula (Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens) to your home? You're in for a treat. These spiders are not only drop-dead gorgeous — with their electric blue legs, greenish carapace, and fiery orange abdomen — but they’re also one of the best tarantulas for beginners.

We’ve kept these ourselves, and honestly, they’re fascinating to watch and surprisingly low-maintenance, once you know what you're doing. Here’s what you really need to know before bringing one home:

Habitat Setup Tips


Feeding and Care


Health and Safety


Breeding? Think Twice

Breeding Green Bottle Blues is tricky. Females often eat the males, and even the egg sac isn’t always safe. If you’re curious, research extensively and be prepared for a hands-on (and slightly risky) process.


Final Thoughts

If you’re looking for a low-fuss, high-drama pet (in terms of looks, not behavior), the Green Bottle Blue is a fantastic choice. They’re hardy, beautiful, and surprisingly chill. Just respect their space, set up their habitat properly, and enjoy watching them go about their eight-legged lives.

Have questions? We’ve learned a lot by trial and error, so don’t hesitate to reach out — we’re always happy to help fellow spider lovers get started on the right foot (or eight).
