Description

#MYWCO2012

Beautiful species from Thailand. This coloring is visible when the tarantula is under the correct lighting, and it only gets better and more pronounced as it ages. Female specimens tend to have better and brighter coloring than the males. Except for the vibrant blue on the front two pairs of legs,pedipalps and fangs, the rest of the Thailand Electric Blue is a mix of dull brown and grey much like any other Chilobrachys species.

Starting out at more or less the same size as Chilobrachys dyscolus or Chilobrachys sp. Vietnam Blue as slings, females will eventually grow to around 14 or 15cm. Males are sexually dimorphic at maturity and only reach a size of around 12 or 13cm. In Thailand, this species is subjected to temperatures ranging from 15 degrees up to 35 degrees and more, so being a fossorial species helps to shield it from any extremes in weather.

ABOUT SIZES

In Tarantula life cycle, there is only eggs, spider-ling and adult.

However for pricing convenience, this is a personal rule of thumb, obviously this varies on the species of tarantula.
1. Sling (1cm~2cm)
2. Juvenile (2cm~7cm)
3. Sub adult (7cm~10cm)
4. Adult (10cm~12cm+)

It varies on species as some adults may only reach a few centrimeters while others may get (20cm~25cm+)
