Thrixopelma cyaneolum - Cobalt Red Rump - 2.5+ inch Female

The Cobalt Red Rump, scientifically known as Thrixopelma cyaneolum! This medium sized New World tarantula is adorned for their remarkable coloration and docile demeanor! Surprisingly, very few tarantula enthusiasts know about this remarkable species making it one of the most underrated tarantulas currently in the hobby! With that being said, I wouldn’t be surprised if the Cobalt Red Rump explodes in popularity/price within the near future! Anyways, you can expect your spider to max out at 5.5 inches in DLS while this specific female is currently 2.5 inches DLS! She’s been feeding on one large cricket a week and has one hell of a ferocious feeding response! With that being said, set this species up like any other new world terrestrial tarantula, they prefer a decently humidified environment, but can tolerate dry substrate for a pretty long time! Anyways, this specific individual is extremely docile/tolerable of handling. In fact I’ve literally never seen her kick hairs! With that being said get this girl before she’s gone!
