Cobalt blue tarantula rearing
Cobalt blue tarantulas are extremely aggressive and cannot be easily touched. Like other spiders, the cobalt blue tarantula has a set of fangs, and while its venom is unlikely to cause serious harm to humans, it can be very painful to bite. When threatened, it stands up on its hind legs as a warning. Since this tarantula does not have stinging hairs like other tarantulas, they can only defend themselves by biting each other.
