Description
This stunning Green Bottle Blue Tarantula is healthy, active, and feeding well. GBBs are known for their vibrant colours—metallic blue legs, orange abdomen, and green carapace—which become even more striking as they mature. They are hardy, fast-growing, and excellent display tarantulas.
