Meet our Socotra Blue Baboon Tarantula! Native only to Yemen’s Socotra Island, this vibrant tarantula thrives in the rocky terrain while weaving heavy webs and burrowing into crevices. Unlike most tarantulas these fascinating spiders are social creatures living together in colonies both in the wild and at Butterfly Pavilion on display for all to visit and see up close. With their beautiful color range of blues and greys they are as beautiful as they are unique. Come catch a glimpse of our Socotra Blue Baboon Tarantula during our Spiders Around the World Exhibition running through October 31!
