Anymore to add (Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens)

[viper69]

How tall the enclosure should be

1.5x their DLS is the standard most use.

I believe I missed the height part when doing research, can you please elaborate?

You don't want too much height between the substrate and the top of the enclosure for terrestrial species, and this is the 1.5 times the diagonal leg span Viper is referring to. The spider shouldn't have more than about 1.5 times its diagonal legspan to fall or else it could injure itself.

This species should have a terrestrial setup with limited space to fall from, just with more stuff for anchor points in it than other terrestrials so they can also web. This means getting an enclosure that has more length than height and filling it with enough substrate to ensure that there's an appropriate distance for that size of spider between the dirt and the lid.

Apologies I should've been clear when I asked, I'm doing research for animals I plan on keeping in the future and so I wanted some input on what could be added, removed, or reworked, if you need clarification on what I'm saying then please let me. Again apologies for the confusion.


This is something I'm putting together from doing research, I want to make sure I know as much as I can. I apologize if this doesn't look good I am a beginner and what to care for the animal as best as possible. If you need clarification on what I'm saying please let me know. Also let me know what needs to be added, removed, or reworked.


I am putting this together myself to make sure I know as much I can to care for this species. Please let me know what could be done better and if what I'm saying is confusing please let me know so I can clarify as best as I can.


Thank you for the info, though could you clarify on what the errors are please?

Don't just fill the enclosure 50% with substrate, the level will be determined by substrate depth and free height to the lid versus the spider's diagonal leg span.

The enclosure doesn't have to be semi-arboreal; they can be kept terrestrially too.

You can try real plants but they'll most likely die after getting covered in a canvass of webbing. Also these spiders come from a very dry desert in Venezuela so conditions for the plant and spider will most likely conflict.

When feeding it's usually best to toss in one live prey item at a time. That way the second one can't run off and hide while the spider is busy with the first.

Other than that it's a great spider; my first too.

Just remember to ALWAYS CRUSH HEADS on any live prey except crickets and waxworms.

Good luck, enjoy, and while water dishes are great to have; as much as these spiders web wicking is pretty much guaranteed to occur. Then after a bit the whole bowl may be canvassed in web. If that happens just add a few drops of water to a spot on the web for the spider to drink from.

Green Bottle Blue Tarantula Care
Scientific name: Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens
Lifespan: Males: 3-4 years Females: 14 years
Size: 4.5-6 though males tend to be smaller
Enclosure Type: Semi-Arboreal
Enclosure Size*: Adult: As big as 10 gallons Juvie: 3x’s it’s length horizontally and vertically Sling: Typical Sling enclosure
Enclosure Setup: 1. Fill up to 50% of the enclosure with substrate 2. Hide 3. Decor like long wood/bark pieces, vines, plants (real or plastic), leaf litter* 4. A water dish in the corner
Substrate Options: Cocofiber, vermiculite, peat moss, potting soil, Topsoil
Temp: 70*-76* F or Room temp
Humidity: Low-Medium*
Food*
Sling: Flightless fruit flies, confused flour beetles, pre killed crickets
Juvie: 1-2 medium crickets
Adult: 5-7 large crickets, a couple of dubias, Worms (larvae only),
Feeding Schedule
Sling: Every 5-7 days/As needed or 1-2x's a week
Juvie: Once a week
Adult: Every 1-3 weeks
Cleaning: Remove uneaten prey and spot clean, Every 6-12 month remove everything and clean thoroughly
Notes: When picking enclosures make sure they are at least 3x’s the spider’s length in horizontal space, Make sure there is plenty of decor for the spider to use as anchor points any prey about 2/3 the size of the spider is good or have the prey be about the size of it’s abdomen, if abdomen is smaller than head feed more if bigger feed less, Substrate must be dry, a water dish should do just fine for humidity

Caresheets are useless my friend, you have 10 times better information for keeping here on forum provided by some very experienced keepers.

All you need to do is a bit of researching and bit of reading.
