Cobalts are the coolest Tarantula IMO.

Re: Got a cool new bug! Haplopelma lividum

my local reptile shop had a cobalt blue it was a psyco...!!

even the shop owner who had kept reptiles for over 25 years was scared of this one

i'm scared of spiders even little house spiders but i have to admit thats a very nice looking one mate

cheers shaun

Re: Got a cool new bug! Haplopelma lividum

Cobalt Blues are called obligate burrowers which basically means they make a large burrow in the substrate and the most you'll see of them is the occasional leg sticking out.

It's like having a pet hole...haha. It's too bad, as this is a beautiful species
