I looked this link the molt has exactly this brown color...It's a pity because I can't breed him if I don't know for sure!

@Dora Thank you for not breeding him! The genus is already really messed up and we don't need unknown genetics mixed in.

@Jeff23 Even though that is true, it can also be P. sp. mascara, which is also a similar brown.

There person whom which you bought this beautiful tarantula didn't tell you?

Unfortunately no I bought it from a collector who didn't knew the sp.But I think that is one common Pampho sp.

I just love that metallic carapace, an amazingly beautiful T to look at. If anybody that reads this owns one then what's their husbandry like? Are they difficult to care for?

@Jon B Only males have the the strikingly colored carapaces and body. You keep them on moist, but not wet (I let it dry out before re-moistening it), substrate. They're not hard to care for at all, but their feeding response can be daunting. That and a lot of the species are nervous and will dart into their hide or flick hair. I'd get some experience with a big bulky NW first, like an LP, then go for a Pampho.

@Phormic28 for me is exactly the opposite..My female LP is very nervous,every time I feed her I have fauna at the floor...Me and my boyfriend got bitten!Really aggressive and she kicks lot of urticating hair!

@Dora You have a PU or an Ultimate male so the behavior is going to be a bit different for the most part though.

Yes I understand what you mean...Anyway thanks for the help I will keep until he dies without reaching his breeding purposes
