Scientific Name: Idiothele mira Common Name: Blue Foot Baboon Classification: Old World Terrestrial Endemic Location: South Africa Adult Size: Approximately 4 to 5 inches Lifespan: 2-3 years for males and 10-12 years for females. Interesting facts about this species: The Idiothele mira, commonly known as the Blue Foot Baboon, is world-famous in the arachnid hobby for its striking, iridescent blue toes and unique trapdoor-building behaviors. Advanced tarantula care for this South African native requires offering deep, structured substrate so the spider can excavate complex burrows and fashion a hidden, camouflaged trapdoor from silk and dirt. Despite being a fast Old World species, its venom is considered relatively mild compared to other baboon spiders, making it a highly searched, highly coveted transitional species for those moving into advanced tarantula keeping.
