I got her just a couple months ago from a local keeper/breeder. I believe he’s also on AB. I couldn’t pass her up after all the good things I’d read about the species.
@viper69 - I'm kind of worried about the high numbers of WC females coming into the hobby at the moment, many of them gravid. It seems someone has found a wild population and a source of income from plundering it
. For years they have been under the radar but now people seem to have found out that they are not only blue but also docile and hardy... 
Honestly, I can't tell you why a species becomes popular and one isn't. All the reasons that "E sp Red" and "Yellow" are popular is present in T cyane. However, T cyane has been around in the hobby longer I believe. Maybe access to T cyane isn't the best, who knows. I wish I knew.@viper69 - I'm kind of worried about the high numbers of WC females coming into the hobby at the moment, many of them gravid.

Of course I can't and won't deny others the joy of owning this species, but can't we just put some more effort into breeding instead of depleting wild populations? And yes, I know I'm being a hypocrite because I do own a WC female, but in my defence: when I bought it I didn't realize it was WC.
Has this person bred this species? If so, this would be helpful information to the community. Once @KezyGLA and @Austin S. spread the beauty of this species around the USA, more will follow I hope that become CB USA
Not that I know of unfortunately. He got the one female last November, and she wasn’t paired.
Thanks, wonder who the person got them from. I only know of 1 colony here in the USA.Not that I know of unfortunately. He got the one female last November, and she wasn’t paired.
I got her thinking I would pass her along to someone more experienced if a breeding opportunity ever came up. I agree the beauty must be spread!
I’ll ask and get back to you. He told me but I forgot, hah. So there is someone breeding them in the US, cool!
OooohNeoholothele fasciaaurinigra,
T. Cyaneolum
Dolichothele diamantinensis
Click on the pics and it brings you to the gallery where he has them each labeled.
Thanks
Do you have any photos of him by any chance? It’s a shame when that happens, although I’m not in the same place as you, I’m a bit worried I won’t be able to find mates for the Pamphobeteus and Phormictopus sp I have
Don't have pictures, unfortunately. The little thing was too flighty for that. The speed of those things is incredible! Mature male didn't last very long though. I think 4 months, something like that, after he matured, he died.
Yeah, I know it's a necro but I rehoused mine after his latest moult and just realised that he's matured, bloody thing is tiny.
Pretty spider! I hope you find a date for him, mine just wasted away unfortunately. Died relatively quick too.. Three months or so
I honestly wasn't expecting it at all, must be around 1.5" or something like thatPretty spider! I hope you find a date for him, mine just wasted away unfortunately. Died relatively quick too.. Three months or so
Can't be much over 2.5" at most, surely?
Do you still have this one? If so, can you share a picture? I’m curious what the juveniles and adults look like.
