The infamous “blue” tarantula from India. This species is critically endangered and faces risks from over-collection and habitat loss/destruction. I’m playing my role through captive breeding programs to minimize the perceived “need” to illegally collect the species from the wild, hopefully leading to minimized poaching and reduced human presence in their environments. #gooty #gootysaphireornamental #poecilotheria #poecilotheriametalica #tarantula
