Almost 3 weeks since he molted, and Hulk is ready to start putting some weight back on. He's never been shy about indicating when he's hungry...

Thanks! Yes, his colors are hard to catch in a photo, especially a quick cell phone pic. That's why I've been taking so many pics of him lately - trying to capture those unreal colors in photos. One day...

Let me know when you find a cam that can capture their natural beauty and colours, I have been trying since I started collecting and it doesn't matter what I try I can never capture the colours as they are in rl , luckily for me coz I know this my head auto corrects the colours so I can see them properly πŸ˜†, I must take 100 pics to get one decent one n it's never perfect the colours could always be better .
As a side note I get better pictures when I take stills as I am recording with my phone torch on , I can correct then straight away for the lighting rather then having a flash, it scares my t's less too as no flash, it still doesn't 100% catch the colours but I have better results with that then any other method 😊
 
gorg! do you havd more photos? I'm looking to buy a full green but it's really difficult to find photos of an adult one online that arent the same 3 reused one.

Check out Tom Moran's channel on utube Tom's big spiders he has uploads of his phormictopus on there including full green 😊

Don't know if you saw this one...


He really is a beautiful spider, but as with many of them, the colors are most vibrant in the few weeks right after a molt. The rest of the molt cycle he's more grey/brown, with the hints of green showing if he catches the light just right... It is a Phormictopus, though, so he's big and awesome regardless of the color.

thank you! yes i only have a phormictopus sp dominican purple for the past month or two and honestly that spider alone has made me decide that I want more of that genus. what a fun, excellent eater and the colors are to die for. i just didn't know if I wanted to go with a full green or green gold or green femur and man trying to find resources for them is kind of difficult. thanks so much for your detailed response so i know what to expect!
