Singapore blue tarantula

[Eightleggedchris]

Hi guys,

It seems another tarantula has walked its way into my wish list. A Singapore blue. My question is does anyone have or had one? What are like to keep, temperament ect. Standard questions apply

On a side note the for sale section on here is it all in the US? I cant find and UK sellers?

Lampropelma violaceopes old world arboreal so they are fast and have potent venom and generally considered skittish and defensive like other old world. they are a south east Asian species so they like it humid however since they are arboreal good ventilation is very important so you need to have a good balance between the two.

Thanks for the info, do you have any experience with these personally? I own an old world spider (OBT) so im no stranger to the speed and venom.

Thanks
Chris

I own a lampropelma nigerrimum and most of my collection are from the genus haplopelma which is from the same subfamily Ornithoctoninae as a result they have the same care requirement ect. the only difference is lampropelma are arboreal, while haplopelma are fossorial
