Electrifying Blue from Thailand – A Fast and Aggressive Old World Tarantula
Cyriopagopus lividus, originating from Thailand and Myanmar (Burma), is one of the most striking and sought-after tarantulas in terraristics. Known as the Cobalt Blue Tarantula, it stands out with its intense, metallic blue coloration covering its entire body. It is a species of extreme speed, aggression, and potent venom, intended only for very experienced keepers.
Natural Habitat and Geographical Origin
C. lividus inhabits the humid tropical forests of Thailand and Myanmar. It is a terrestrial and burrowing species, digging deep and extensive burrow systems where it spends most of its time. It is extremely reclusive and rarely seen outside its burrow.
Morphology and Size
Adult Cyriopagopus lividus individuals reach a leg span of 13-15 cm (5-6 inches). Their body is uniformly covered in a vivid metallic blue color, which is particularly intense on their legs. The coloration is most visible in freshly molted individuals but persists through most of the molting cycle. Young individuals are less intensely colored.
Behavior and Character
C. lividus is a species known for its extreme speed, aggression, and defensiveness. When threatened, it instantly flees to its burrow, but if cornered, it immediately assumes a defensive posture and lunges at the intruder with great force. Its venom is very potent and can cause significant systemic symptoms in humans, such as intense pain, muscle cramps, numbness, nausea, vomiting, and flu-like symptoms that can last for several days. It does not possess urticating hairs. For this reason, no direct contact with this species is recommended, and all manipulations should be performed with utmost caution, always using long tweezers and in a secure environment.
Feeding Habits
In nature, their diet consists of insects and other small invertebrates. In captivity, they should be fed appropriately sized feeder insects, such as crickets, cockroaches (e.g., Turkish, Argentine), or locusts. Adults can be fed once a week or once every two weeks.
Lifespan
Female Cyriopagopus lividus are long-lived and can live from 15 to 20 years under optimal breeding conditions. Males have a significantly shorter lifespan, typically 3 to 5 years.
Husbandry Requirements
Terrarium: A spacious terrarium of at least 30x20x20 cm is required for an adult specimen. Excellent ventilation and escape-proofing are crucial.
Substrate: A deep layer of substrate (at least 15-20 cm) such as coco fiber or a mix of peat and vermiculite should be placed at the bottom of the terrarium, allowing the spider to dig elaborate burrows.
Hide: An artificial hide (e.g., a PVC pipe, half a coconut shell) should be provided to serve as the start of a burrow.
Temperature: The optimal temperature is 24-28°C.
Humidity: Maintain high humidity at 75-85% by regularly misting the terrarium.
Water: A shallow water dish should always be available.
Suitable for Hobbyists
Cyriopagopus lividus is a species intended only for very experienced and responsible keepers. Its extreme speed, aggression, and venom potency require the utmost caution, knowledge, and experience in safely handling tarantulas. This is not a species for beginners.
