Phormingochilus sp. “Sabah Blue” Phormingochilus sp. “Sabah Blue” is one of the most visually striking arboreal tarantulas from Borneo. As this species matures, it develops deep velvet tones with subtle bluish hues that really pop under good lighting. It’s fast, alert, and loves vertical cork bark retreats where it can web up a secure hide. For experienced keepers who appreciate rare Old World arboreals, this species is a true standout. 📢 Special Notices I regularly post feeding videos, enclosure setups, and care tips for many tarantula species on my YouTube channel. If you want to see how I personally keep and feed my tarantulas, check it out here: ▶ Visit Urban Tarantulas on YouTube 🧰 Care Details 🌡️ Temperature 75–85°F (24–29°C). Warmer temperatures typically encourage faster growth because they molt more often. 💧 Humidity Around 75–80% inside the enclosure with good ventilation. Keep substrate slightly moist but never swampy. 🏠 Housing Babies Vial up to about 5" tall × 2" diameter with ventilation. FREE vial available at checkout if requested (not included otherwise). Juveniles Once past ~2", upgrade to a vertical enclosure around 7–8" tall with cork bark for climbing and webbing. Adults Adults thrive in a vertical enclosure around 12–16" tall with plenty of anchor points for webbing and a cork bark retreat. 🍽️ General Diet Crickets + roaches (Dubia, Red Runner, Lobster). Babies eat baby crickets or baby roaches. If prey is too large, simply pre-kill it (crush the head) and leave it for them. Always remove leftovers or bolus. For very large specimens, an occasional pinky mouse, hopper mouse, or feeder lizard can be offered very sparingly as a treat. Too much calcium can lead to constipation or pooping issues. We never use pinhead crickets because they do not provide enough protein. 📚 In-depth Facts 🕷️ Latin name Phormingochilus sp. “Sabah Blue” 📛 Common name(s) Sabah Blue Tarantula 🌡️ Temperature 75–85°F (24–29°C) 💧 Humidity Aro
