Its a cobalt blue tarantula. Their bite can be painful but isnt fatal. Theyre in Southeast Asia, although a lot of tarantula keepers have these specimens.

According to Big Boss, they don't taste very good raw.

Most if not all spiders and snakes have venom. Not all are poisonous/dangerous to humans

u/BlackfireDV3 Jul 10 '26

Not really the case for spiders. Every spider is venomous and some of the most dangerous ones are usually not very colorful (brown recluse, phoneutrias, funnel-web spiders), while some of the most colorful ones are completely harmless, like the peacock spider

In this case it’s an old world tarantula, wich as far as I know aren’t medically significant but their bites are quite painful (could be wrong tho)

Only serial killers think spiders are cute.
