Chromatopelma is a genus of spiders in the family Theraphosidae (tarantulas), with the sole species Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens. A native of the Paraguaná peninsula, Venezuela, it is known as the green bottle blue tarantula, and has some of the most dramatic colouring of any spider species. Adult GBB's have metallic blue legs, a blue-green carapace and a vibrant orange abdomen.
They are very active, fast-growing and particularly attractive to tarantula hobbyists.These tarantulas live in webbed burrows under bushes and tree roots in desert areas of northern Venezuela, in Paraguana. The entrance is often extended with webbing, sometimes resembling a funnel shape.Slings are different in colour and develop their vibrant colours after each molt.
