Bought this little guy the other day as a Pamphobeteus Insignis (Columbian purple bloom)
Can anyone confirm this please?
Looks beautiful whatever it is tho
Looks like my Pamphobeteus sp. Insignis.



....But it looks like my Pamphobeteus sp. "Costa" as well.



Haha, it'll be impossible to tell until they get bigger. A lot of Pamphobeteus species look just like that as spiderlings.
 
Also, post the entire enclosure. That looks like an arboreal set up and these guys need terrestrial set ups.
 
It most likely isnt real insignis. Big mess up with machalla on early breedings in Europe.

Pamphobeteus sp. is safe bet ;)
 
@miss moxie wow they look the same, looks like I'll have to wait a while for a definitive I.d
It still in the sling cup from the shop at the moment (coco fiber and a piece of cork bark in to the side) will be setting up it's proper enclosure this weekend
 
Yeah, the only Pamphobeteus I've seen personally that doesn't have a christmas tree butt is Pamphobeteus antinous. Just google image search "Pamphobeteus slings" and you'll see the majority are identical.
 
@miss moxie just did as you said, and can see what you mean about the Christmas tree butt looking forward to seeing what he/she turns out to be now
As I said before tho no matter what it's a beautiful sling
 
@KezyGLA Well I actually don't mind. A bit disappointing, but it was a freebie so. If it turns out to be Machalla, that's fine too. Unfortunate for OP however. But -all- Pamphobeteus are great, @Lotter, so even if it isn't an Insignis you're in for a treat.
 
Thank you both for taking your time out to help
@miss moxie I'll be a bit out of pocket if it does turn out to be Machalla but I'm still happy with what iv got and am looking forward to raising it up
