The Socotra Island Blue Baboon (Monocentropus balfouri) is an Old World tarantula endemic to Yemen’s Socotra Island, recognized for its vivid blue legs contrasted with cream or tan body tones. This medium-sized terrestrial species constructs silk-lined burrows and displays rare communal tendencies, with females sometimes caring for young and multiple individuals cohabiting peacefully under the right conditions. Valued by enthusiasts for its striking appearance and unique behavior, it thrives in arid, rocky habitats and requires intermediate care in captivity.
