Greenbottle Blue Tarantula (Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens)

Add one of the most breathtaking visual masterpieces in the exotic hobby to your collection with the Greenbottle Blue Tarantula (Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens), commonly known as the GBB. Native to the arid scrublands of Venezuela, this New World terrestrial/semi-arboreal species is famous for its striking metallic-blue legs, iridescent green carapace, and vibrant orange abdomen.

Beyond its showstopping adult coloration, the Greenbottle Blue is beloved for its incredible heavy web-building behavior.
