Omythous schiodtei colour forms

[Psubdusca]

Just purchased a Malaysian earth tiger 6cm juvenile and he or she is a orange colour but has the right markings is this the species I think it is

There are no color forms I am aware of.
Post pics, if it's from a reputable seller, or just not from a shady one, I would trust their labeling.

Uhhhhh.... maybe I'm just not as well versed in these... but that does not look like a O. schioedtei... more like an obt from the black lipstick and blue shoes...

At 6cm, they start showing those adult colors...

[Psubdusca]

Its male

Thats good I was thinking that the males might not ofochanged colour thought I had a p sp rufus on my hands lol

That's impressive! How'd you get it to change colors like that?

NOW it looks right.

Ahaha that would be nice

Well, they did not mess up the order but if you bought that as unsexed you did get cheated. As Kezy said, that's a male. O. schioedtei can be sexed by color alone from a very small size, and by 2" or 5 cm it's blindingly obvious. So they sent you an obvious male for an unsexed...

O. schioedtei also grow very fast - your spider will be mature in less than a year, maybe even in 6 months. You won't have it for very long...

Probably penultimate judging by the look, bad practice passing off large males as unsexed. I hear lots of our members have had this same experience with the spider shop. I would hit them up and see if you can talk it out.

How small?

 

[boina]

How small?

I'm not sure, actually. I got mine as 2i slings and then I didn't see them for a while... I saw them again at 2" during rehouse and then it was obvious.

Now I will say this....an MM of this species is something you shouldn't have trouble finding a female for...They tend to be sought after....at least here in the states.
