Indian Blue Dwarf Tarantula
Sahydroaraneus raja
The Indian blue dwarf tarantula is a hobby name used for Sahydroaraneus raja, a species described from Kerala, India. Its scientific identity needs care: a 2014 revision found that the type specimen was immature, limiting comparison with adult trade stock. A blue appearance or seller label alone cannot confirm identity. Retain breeder records and seek specialist advice. Provide secure, ventilated housing with substrate, shelter and water, and avoid handling. Females lay eggs in silk sacs.
Colors: Wild Type
