Maybe female blue cobolt?

Rescue from a poor keeper. It's in pretty bad shape, and I say it's still young because I was told it "hatched" just a few months ago. But who knows if that's true

It definitely did not hatch a few months ago - more like a few years. If you give it water please don't use a sponge. Tarantulas have trouble drinking from it, although it's not impossible for them. They can drink better from a bowl with just water and this spider looks as if it has no more energy to waste on a sponge. But maybe I misunderstood and you took the sponge out?

Btw can someone answer the original question? Haplopelma/Cyriopagopus are not my specialty, so I'm not sure on that.

I believe he was talking about when the other keeper had it.

Yes, that's likely - so my sponge commantary is totally wasted

Actually he wasn't talking about when the other keeper had it seeing as he was answering this post.

@Tommy Muse III I would make sure it has a water dish asap and when its ready a good meal.

Big thick sponge and it seems to be still stressed due to the new habitat but I'll keep trying to feed it

Ditch the sponge and simply add in a large water dish, fill it with just water.

C.lividus require deep sub to burrow in so provide a good few inches of depth as well. Be careful working around it. This species is highly defensive and has very potent venom, not recommended for beginners.

Ah, should have reread. Looks like it's not in a much better spot..

Haplopelma lividum is now Cyriopagopus lividus.

Well bud I really hope you got to him in time. Tough to see such a nice specimen wither away. But with patience and some luck this one may pull through for ya.
Please, if you can, post more pictures of the T and his setup.
Thanks

Bro, your terrarium should look like this. I keep my c.lividum in 12-14" of moist packed substrate and a water dish. That is all you will need. No sense in providing a hide, if you use alot of substrate it will live deep in its burrow system. I use sterilite tubs from Walmart. Cost me 7$. I made a starter burrow for it in the corner, woke up the next day and it burrowed straight to the bottom and made itself a nice lair. I don't know if mine is male or female. I never get to see the abdomen and good luck getting a molt from it. Mine keeps the molts in its lair and I am not fishing it out that's suicide bro. Once it settles in you won't see it much. I see mine late at night near the burrow entrance waiting for a dubai roach. I sure love my c.lividum I hope you enjoy yours if not send it to me I will take very good care of it. Lol
