Chilean Blue Fuego (Euathlus tigre azul)

A curiously, docile, beauty!

Hailing from the cool, arid regions of Chile, this species showcases an extraordinary palette of creamy green, aquamarine blue, and ember orange once fully matured. Unlike the typically slow moving members of the Euathlus genus, the Chilean Blue Fuego brings a spark of personality that feels truly unique. This is not your average laid-back terrestrial—it’s curious, bold, and often seen confidently exploring its surroundings as if it’s mapping out its little world. This quirky and interactive behavior makes it a joy to observe and an absolute dream to handle, as it remains calm, tolerant, and utterly fascinating.

A Fast Growing Euathlus Species?

The Euathlus Tigre Azul (Chilean Blue Fuego) is expected to reach a compact, manageable adult size of around 4.5 inches. But what’s truly special is there accelerated growth rate—a surprising trait for this genus. In just six months, slings that started out at a mere 0.25 inches have flourished into impressively sized juveniles. That’s nearly unheard of for Euathlus species and makes this tarantula even more appealing for keepers eager to watch their spider mature without the long wait. Whether you’re a seasoned collector or a newcomer looking for a visually stunning and personality-packed species, the Chilean Blue Fuego delivers in every category. This is not just a tarantula—it’s a fiery little companion with a heart as bold as its colors.

Euathlus Tigre Azul Care - Keep this species on dry substrate! Give them plenty of room to walk around as the species doesn’t build a burrow like most tarantulas! If you give them a semi arboreal enclosure… she will definitely use the vertical space but such an enclosure size is not a must! Lastly make sure to give the species a water dish!
