So, I'm getting a Phormictopus sp green to add to my collection. 2". Is there anything special I need to know?
I see various colors. Green ain't one. Buyer Beware is a tried and true piece of advice every time.I.dont know who your getting it from or where but I got one and it's definitely not what I expected. I was told there are three color variations here is my previous thread about what I got. And a current pichttp://arachnoboards.com/threads/phormictopus-sp-green.281058/ View attachment 208215
I was expecting a full green but this is her after her molt. Now it just looks kinda like a rose hair as far as color goes
Then what was the problem????Well, I really trust this breeder. All my spiders except one have been from her, and she said it'll be greenish. Said the one I'm getting already shows some green so I'll see.
Ah, these things happen!Yeah, I was asking about care advice, and it turned into a color chat. I didn't expect that. Sorry.
They aren't "hard" at all to keep: inches of substrate (those i had loved to burrow), they enjoy moist substrate (so, as i've said prior, not a bone dry one like a G.rosea or a C.cyaneopubescens) hide & water dish of course.Yeah, I was asking about care advice, and it turned into a color chat.

Like cancerides without the attitude?They aren't "hard" at all to keep: inches of substrate (those i had loved to burrow), they enjoy moist substrate (so, as i've said prior, not a bone dry one like a G.rosea or a C.cyaneopubescens) hide & water dish of course.
IMO good eaters with a nice attitude.

No, i mean (not sure if i got right your post, sorry if, man) they, as a genus, have a nice (meaning for me a bit on the high strung mode, considering of course the single specimen temperament) attitude. Had a P.cancerides more than a decade ago, a 0.1 that i named 'Tonton Macoute' lol, she was like a P.murinus on thatLike cancerides without the attitude?
A most appropriate name!
