These tarantulas are a deep navy to indigo blue over all the body, with bright red highlight setae on their abdomen. Truly a stunning species. They are reminiscent of Greenbottle Blues (Chromatopelma cyanopubescens) but are much deeper, darker blue all over (including their abdomen) and have red highlight setae on their abdomen rather than orange. The males look like females until they mature, at which point, they take on more green tones. the head is a more metallic green than a Greenbottle blue, and the femurs have some greens mixed in with the blues. The legs are not as intense deep blue as the females, but are still blue. And the rump is red instead of the bright orange of a Greenbottle blue. Still a striking animal.

This is a fast-moving and defensive species and is therefore recommended for experienced keepers. They are primarily terrestrial but are strong burrowers and should be provided with a deep layer of suitable substrate, allowing them to create a secure retreat.
Cambodian Blue Tarantulas are best kept as display animals rather than handling pets. With the correct enclosure, suitable humidity, good ventilation, access to fresh water and appropriately sized prey, they can thrive in captivity.
