I got a new Cyriopagapus lividus and a Brachypelma emilia 😍 I'm not a big fan of old worlds but I'm smitten with 'Olive' it's the only brachypelma I really like 😅
It's hard to pick a single favourite, since each has their own qualities but if I had to choose, it would probably be my Cyriopagopus lividus - Cobalt Blue. My first old word T. She's almost always out and about, and has quite the appetite
Perfect example of being patient... Just noticed legs sticking out of Cyriopagopus Lividus's (Cobalt Blue) Enclosure... Haven't seen it for a month and a half til now.
I will continue to give it more time to harden up etc.
Once it starts coming completely out and hunting and looks good, this...
Lots of times you don't know if they've molted with fossorials. My C. lividus finally showed itself last night, after like 4 months. No molt tossed out, all I saw was legs and a flash when it popped out to grab a roach. I don't think I've ever actually seen a molt from it, and it's molted maybe...

The more I hear about your friend the more I want to recommend a C lividus... Something that will make him pee himself a little bit. You did say blue... 🤣
Don't let him get anything you don't want to inherit though.
There is no telling, between Tiktok and YouTube the misinformation highway has gotten larger - Just the other day I saw a Tiktok of someone telling others that Cyriopagopus lividus make good beginners and that was enough for me to close the app.
One that you'll likely never see above ground is the one mentioned by @8 legged above - Sahydroaraneus raja. They're gorgeous T's, dark iridescent blue when viewed in the correct light, but in my experience they won't ever come to the surface. I always had a window into the burrow mine made...
...Pelinobius muticus (these grow VERY slowly, so paying a little more for a well stated sling or juvenile is totally justifiable), Cyriopagopus lividus (the blue on their legs sticking out of a burrow is awesome), Chilobrachys fimbriatus (gorgeous T's), Ceratogyrus darlingi or marshalli (I...
Got lucky and took a shot of the C. lividus (seems to have a 0.2" carapace) meanwhile the P. murinus has a 0.12" carapace but the Pic I took is bad. I re-did the holes and now they are 0.04" wide
...that my Pterinochilus murinus RCF is fine. However since the substrate was too dump I decided to rehouse it and my other sling (Cyriopagopus lividus) in a bigger container of size 3.5"x2.3"x2.3". I made holes with 0.12" of size, but are they big enough for an escape for two 0.4" slings? (they...
Update to this spider (now officially named Ampha), as she has finally decided to go fossorial and dug all the way to the bottom. She does still pop back up to the surface with some regularity, especially if crickets are involved.
cleaning up after a relatively clean t is simple, I have never used, or seen a real need to use a clean up crew...please dont feel like springtails are a critical piece.
...been reading that they require more moisture than your T actually needs so it may be pointless. I could see it being really beneficial for C Lividus though. My P Met, P Ruf, and P Irm are out of the delicate stage so idk if I should just forgo that idea. Maintenance isn't an issue. They...
Thiri is one of the newer additions to my collection (got her in early October). As seen here, she STILL has not burrowed in spite of being one of the most dedicated fossorials among fossorial Ts….
0.1.0 (out of 0.1.3) Cyriopagopus lividus
