I'm somewhat new to the board, but I now own three T's
A rose hair, an antilles pink, and I just got my cobalt blue this morning.

And I must say, they are rather aggressive, very crazy and fast spider, definetly won't be handling this one ever.

I'm curious though, there is blue on the legs but her/his body is mostly brown, now that means what? she is still immature or is it male? I couldn't find any site that would give me a specific answer to this question

anyone know?

Haplopelma lividum get blue at about 2"-3" and stay that way until the maturing molt where males are completely brown with pedipalps and hooks. The females keep the blue coloration on the legs and can vary from grey to brown on the body.

I hope this helps.
