bolivian blue leg (pamphobeteus antinous)

this striking black and gunmetal blue tarantula is found in the rainforests of peru and bolivia, originally discovered in madre de dios. temperatures often reach 30C so the species often shelters beneath leaves, tree trunks and branches, or digs burrows up to 1.5m deep. compared to others in the typically skittish pamphobeteus genus, the bolivian blue leg is said to be more docile.

Pamphobeteus sp. “Tigris”, sure has changed from when i first got that stripey spiderling so long ago.
