Chylobrachys Dyscolus - Vietnam Blue Tarantula
Not applicable with Auction Items
Introduction
Chilobrachys dyscolus, commonly known as the Vietnam Blue Tarantula, is a striking Old World fossorial species native to Vietnam. This species is highly sought after for its deep blue iridescence, which becomes more pronounced under proper lighting. Known for its fast growth rate, aggressive feeding response, and heavy webbing, C. dyscolus is an excellent species for experienced keepers looking for an active and visually stunning fossorial tarantula.
Like other members of the Chilobrachys genus, this species is defensive, incredibly fast, and not recommended for beginners. It thrives in a deep burrow with ample webbing opportunities, making it an exciting species to observe in a well-designed enclosure.
