The Chilobrachys natanicharum, more commonly known as the Electric blue earth tiger is a visually beautiful Tarantula from Thailand. This Tarantula demonstrates fossorial and terrestrial tendencies, however it has been observed living is tree hollows in its natural habitat. Therefore ample height as well as floor space and substrate depth should be provided to allow the display of natural behaviours. As with all earth tigers, this is more suited to advanced keepers.
