Amazon Blue Bloom Tarantula for sale ( Xenethis intermedia)
We have some gorgeous Amazon Blue Bloom Tarantula for sale. (Xenesthis intermedia) this is a large and impressive species that stands out for its subtle but striking coloration. At first glance, it may appear dark, but under proper lighting it reveals a soft blue iridescent sheen across the legs and body, giving it a “bloom” effect that becomes more noticeable as it matures. This understated coloration, combined with its size, makes it a strong choice for keepers who prefer a more refined and natural look rather than bold, high-contrast patterns.
Native to South America, this species is primarily terrestrial, spending most of its time on the ground with occasional digging or use of shallow retreats. It is not as reclusive as some fossorial species and is often visible once it becomes established in its enclosure. Its steady presence and size make it a solid display tarantula, especially for those who enjoy observing larger species without the need for complex setups.
Adult specimens can reach around seven to eight inches in leg span, placing them among the larger commonly kept tarantulas. Growth is relatively fast when compared to many other large species, particularly when feeding is consistent. Females are long-lived and can remain part of a collection for many years, while males mature faster and have shorter lifespans.
Temperament is generally considered manageable but should be approached with respect. Like many large South American tarantulas, it has a strong feeding response and can react quickly to movement. It is not typically aggressive without cause, but it can become defensive if disturbed and may flick urticating hairs as a primary defense. Handling is not recommended, as its size and speed can make interactions unpredictable. It is best maintained as a display species.

Amazon Blue Bloom Tarantula for sale Housing And Feeding
Housing this tarantula is straightforward. A terrestrial enclosure with good floor space is ideal, along with several inches of substrate such as coco fiber or soil mix. While it may dig occasionally, it does not require very deep substrate. A hide can be provided for security, though many individuals remain partially visible. Moderate humidity works well, with part of the substrate kept slightly moist to maintain a stable environment. Temperatures in the mid to high 70s Fahrenheit are generally suitable.
Feeding is simple and consistent. The Amazon Blue Bloom Tarantula is a strong feeder that readily accepts crickets, roaches, and other appropriately sized prey. It responds quickly during feeding and rarely refuses food unless preparing to molt. Juveniles can be fed more frequently to support growth, while adults typically do well on a weekly schedule.
