Top 3 Yellow & Blue Tarantula - Rare Tarantulas From Colombia

There are still hundreds of unknown tarantulas out there in the world, ready to be discovered. One of them is the elusive Pseudhapalopus species Yellow Blue from Colombia, a close relative to the classic Pseudhapalopus species Blue. Both mentioned tarantula species from the subfamily Theraphosinae we were able to find on our field trip to Colombia in 2019 and present you some video material and information on them. Enjoy the video and have fun!
Pseudhapalopus sp. blue is a species known for well over 10 years and successfully bred in the pet tarantula community. This new species, Pseudhapalopus sp. Yellow Blue brings some new colours to the game, one of the few true yellow tarantulas out there.

Are the males and females of the yellow and blue sexually dimorphic?

[@seanlangford2946]

Beautiful T, I have a Pseudohapalopus sp blue, nearly didn't, it was so small as a sling I thought it had escaped, I was throwing the substrate out of the vile it was in (about a month had passed since thinking it had gone) when I saw it crawling about, was so happy, still waiting for it to grow though lol. Great video.

[@birdspiders]

thanks Sean! good luck with your spiderling, enjoy

[@gavsTarantulas]

Wow what colours, I have a small sling takes ages to grow but seeing your video in the wild and the colours I'm so glad I have one

[@birdspiders]

they take kind of long and are amongst the smallest spiderlings ever, good luck with yours!

Fantastic video, such beautiful spiders and love seeing them in the wild and doing so well

[@birdspiders]

thank you!

[@morganmc6462]

I've recently seen a few local breeders selling a Pseudohapalopus sp. "Tri-color", that looks identical to the sp.yellow-blue. I haven't got my hands one one yet, but plan to soon. I haven't seen a sp.tri-color anywhere else, so I imagine it's just a catchy hobby name that someone came up with. Either way, gorgeous tarantulas. Keep up the great work, man. You do all of us keepers a tremendous service.

[@birdspiders]

never heard of this, send me some pica if you want!

[@Erki750]

Loved the video. I would like (if possible) to see any Poecilotheria species in the wild❤️

[@birdspiders]

we'be documented P. subfusca in the wild, check our channel for more info!

[@tzuru2286]

Hope I can have one someday. ❤️

maybe! thanks for your comment

[@richardpowelljr.3069]

I have a 3 year old female Psuedohapalopus sp Blue and 4 slings Psuedohapalopus sp Colombia (purple and gold) which you called yellow and blue.

[@birdspiders]

I hope it's okey we call them yellow-blue even though we did not make this name up - after all we were the first ones to document this species in 2014

[@richardpowelljr.3069]

@@birdspiders I think yellow blue is more appropriate. Some sellers here in the states call them purple gold. Just pointing out a difference. Not a correction.

[@richardpowelljr.3069]

@@birdspiders you got Facebook? The more I think and look. What is being sold in the states is wrong? Your yellow and blue looks like Pseudhapalopus boyaca. I would like to send you pictures of sp blue and sp Colombia (purple and gold).

[@augustcharlesadriano7145]

come here to the philippines. here you will find the Orphnaecus philippinus and haribon earth tiger/O.sp mindanao

[@birdspiders]

cant wait to see the Earth Tigers from Philipines!

[@user-zq5mu4gm8k]

Can I ask for an HD image of pseudhapalopus yellow blue?

[@jhanzelmagaso364]

Conduct a field trip here in the philippines also after this pandemic we have numerous earth tigers being discovered and is currently being studied by leading researchers here as we speak

[@birdspiders]

I heard of that! Great news, let's hope for a great outcome :) There is a lot to discover around the world!

[@TheHolyMrH]

Hey Martin, where can I find the paper regarding the blue coloration of Tarantulas? Seams like its not linked in the description

[@birdspiders]

it's mentioned in the description, the last one by Foley et. al royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/abs/10.1098/rspb.2020.1688

Are the species yellow what they are calling sp Boyaca in the hobby?

[@birdspiders]

no idea, sorry

[@ytcensorship1401]

i was about to get one and i realized its a dwarf species.

[@birdspiders]

it's not really, watch the whole video and the end for size reference :)

[@ytcensorship1401]

@@birdspiders true the yellow blue gets a bit bigger than the other pseudohapalopus i guess. i'm still biased towards big spiders though xD

[@wollewolf9863]

@@ytcensorship1401 I am in the same boat, otherwise P. spec yellow would be a must have!

You should try to get a ruler down while photographing atleast 1 photo with the size references.

[@birdspiders]

for photos I use a rule, but not in the video - might change that then!

[@wolverinebear5357]

@@birdspidersit just helps give perspective to size, the camera dont do size of things justice or you could even put your hand down next to them would help people judge its size.
