Description

Cyriopagopus lividus (formerly Haplopelma lividum) – Fascinating Cobalt Blue Tarantula from Asia

Cyriopagopus lividus is one of the most attractively colored tarantulas, inhabiting the moist, tropical areas of Thailand and Burma. Its medium-sized females grow up to 7 cm in body length (leg span up to 15 cm), and males are noticeably smaller.

Coloration and lifestyle

  • Intense colors: adult specimens display a mesmerizing, metallic blue sheen on their legs.
  • Fossorial lifestyle: in nature, these tarantulas dig deep burrows and spend most of their time underground.

Terrarium conditions

  • Enclosure height: providing a sufficient amount of substrate (even a dozen or so centimeters) allows for digging a deep burrow.
  • Temperature: around 28°C during the day, with a nighttime drop to 24–25°C.
  • Humidity: high, maintained by regular misting of the substrate.
  • Decor: plants, roots, cork tubes – however, the spider usually chooses a self-dug habitat.

Behavior and feeding

  • Aggression and venom: typical for Asian tarantulas – potent venom and a tendency to attack. C. lividum rarely jumps, which makes handling easier.
  • Voracity: eagerly hunts various feeder insects, exhibiting high hunting efficiency.

Breeding

  • Demanding: courtship can be long, and females often eat their partners.
  • Egg sac: females may delay laying it or eat it, making it difficult to obtain offspring.
  • Clutch size: successful clutches can yield 100–150 nymphs, which are quite large and fast-growing with proper care.

Cyriopagopus lividus captivates with its beautiful blue coloration and specific fossorial lifestyle. Although it may be rarely seen by keepers due to its reclusiveness, its unusual presence and intense colors certainly compensate for any difficulties related to observation or breeding.
