Blue Dwarf Tarantula

Homoeomma sp. 'Blue' is an undescribed Peruvian dwarf tarantula traded under the name 'Blue' for the iridescent blue sheen visible on mature specimens — particularly females, who display the coloration most prominently. Adults remain small at 3-4 inches, making them suitable for smaller enclosures. They are docile and relatively slow-moving, making maintenance straightforward. Prefer slightly cooler, drier conditions than tropical NW species — avoid high humidity. Provide substrate for burrowing and a small water dish. Because this species is undescribed, the name 'Blue' is purely a trade designation. The Homoeomma genus is found across South America; care requirements are broadly similar across the genus. A good choice for keepers interested in dwarf species who want something calmer than Hapalopus.
