In this video I cover care, husbandry, and feeding for the Omothymus violaceopes, also known as the Singapore Blue Tarantula (formerly Lampropelma violaceopes) . I discuss the care, husbandry, feeding, history, general info and enclosures for this species. This includes handling, temperature, humidity, set up, enclosure, substrate, lifespan, location, and size of spiderlings (slings), juveniles and adult tarantulas. I cover essentially everything you need to know about set up and taking care of your tarantula. This spider is an Old World arboreal Tarantula with MEDICALLY SIGNIFICANT VENOM so handling is NOT ADVISED!
