Homoeomma sp. "Blue"
An undescribed species from Peru whose colour shifts from bright blue to midnight blue depending on how long ago it moulted, with cream to pink stripes on the legs. It is large, reaching a leg span of about 20cm.
Homoeomma sp. Blue is a terrestrial tarantula from Peru that has not yet been formally described. Its colour ranges from bright blue to a deep midnight blue depending on how recently it moulted, and the legs carry cream to pink stripes. It is large for the genus, reported to reach a leg span of about 20 cm. Two lines have circulated in the trade under the name Homoeomma sp. Blue, large and small; the small one is now treated as Thrixopelma cyaneolum, and this page covers the large form. It is held to be distinct from the closely similar Thrixopelma lagunas on the shape of the male palpal bulbs and the female spermathecae, and even its generic placement is unsettled. Keep it with a standard terrestrial setup.

Keep around 22-24 C and roughly 60-70% humidity, with a permanent water dish and one damp corner of substrate. Ensure good ventilation.
Terrestrial, so use a horizontal enclosure with generous substrate so it can dig, and provide a cork bark hide.
Offer live insects such as crickets and roaches, increasing prey size as it grows, since it reaches a large size.
Trade sources describe it as docile. As a New World terrestrial species it is presumed to bear urticating setae, but as an undescribed species neither its morphology nor its venom has been reported.
Husbandry information is sparse and almost nothing is published on its lifespan or breeding. The small form sold under the same name is a different species, so confirm which line you are buying.
Intermediate. This is an intermediate-level species. Some prior experience and knowledge of environmental management are recommended.
