Thrixopelma cyaneolum

With its vibrant blue coloration, cream stripes on the legs and red tufts of hair on the abdomen it’s no surprise this species is sometimes known as a Sapphire Dwarf Beauty.

Fairly docile in nature and care very similar to most other New World Terrestrials, are found in the highlands along the pacific coast of Peru.

They are usually found burrowing in the wild so a little depth of substrate is preferred. Currently feeding on micro crickets or fruit flies but are a very low maintenance species and hardy even as slings.

Do well in our spiderling boxes with a water bowl and banked substrate allowing them to burrow.

This is what used to be known as Homoeomma sp. “Blue, Small”. This should not however be mixed up with the Homoeomma sp. “Blue Large” which is also in the hobby.
