Old World 7 species

Asian arboreals, large, and containing O. violaceopes, the Singapore blue, which is one of the biggest arboreal tarantulas available and one of the more dramatic.

Adults reach nine inches with a leg span that makes rehousing a real event. They are fast, they are old world, and they will bolt rather than posture given the option. Arboreal, so vertical space and a cork bark hide, not floor area.

Singapore blues have never been an entry-level purchase. Sac sizes are modest, growth to displayable size takes years, and the color only develops late, so there is a long gap between what a breeder invests and what a buyer will pay for a drab juvenile. That gap is why juvenile pricing stays soft while subadult and adult pricing stays firm.
