Brazilian Blue Tarantulas

[Raven Butler]

I have quite a few tarantulas in my collection and I recently purchased a brazillian blue tarantula. To my surprise I cannot find much information about them as far as care, temperament, breeding, ect. I have looked everywhere and the information I am finding is very limited. Any information is much appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Common names, count for nothing, as they are an unreliable way of determining what species is in question. There are a lot of blue tarantulas, or at least tarantulas that have at least some blue on them and saying it's from Brazil doesn't really narrow it down, either. Can you get a scientific name? Then we can get somewhere.

It is a pterinopelma sazimai, I apologize!

In this case it does, theres only one spider that goes by that name.

All Avics go by that name

It is close enough to another T from Brazil, If someone shortened the common name while typing then there could be some confusion. Dolichotehele diamantinensis Brazilian Blue Beauty. Getting good search results for care and species information will always be better with the whole scientific name over the common name.
