Chilobrachys natanicharum
Chilobrachys • Theraphosidae
A recently described (2022) Thai earth tiger famous for its electric-blue iridescence and prolific webbing — expect thick silk sheets across the substrate, decor, and burrow mouth, which is a sign it is thriving. A fossorial Old World species: give deep substrate (4-6 in) kept moist in the lower layers with a drier surface, a starter burrow under a cork flat, and good ventilation. No urticating hairs, potent venom, fast and defensive — advanced only, no handling.
