Lolanthe, Phormictopus sp Dominican purple saf.
@Charliemum still jealous of your collection hinny, one day I'll have my share of Phormictopus to show off!
Ah don't be jealous 😊, I only have phormictopus because they came off my SO 😊, just need to find you an SO that gives tarantula gifts instead of the usual tripe πŸ˜†.
Jks aside am sure it won't take long before I see your phormictopie sitting in the media feed πŸ˜‰πŸ˜Š, I know it will happen for you hinny I can feel it ❀.

Hmmmm, good points πŸ€”πŸ˜„

No doubt it'll happen one day. I'm impatient though when I see such beauties!

You will get one soon enough.... n then you'll be as frustrated as me that you have such beautiful t's that hardly ever come out to get pics πŸ˜†. This girl usually lives in a web castle up the bk of her viv n I usually can't see more then legs πŸ˜‚, although she has been out alot more since her last moult.
I am probably going to get flack for this but.... she isn't as pretty as my phormictopus sp blue 🫒 πŸ˜†, I need an led daylight torch to see that purple on Lolanthe, but Dori my sp blue glows hot pink and purple no light needed . She's alot more bold in personality to 😊.
 
Interesting take. I've not seen either (properly) in the flesh, so couldn't comment on the comparison, but the whole genus seems to be amazing and quite underrated.

I quite fancy an auratus. And a green femur. And a sp. purple. And and and....!
 

This is my sp blue this pic was taken after her recent moult with just my phone no torch needed, she was gray/red before this shift in colour 5inches dls same as my Dominican purple and much more spunky. Her colours blew me away after she moulted, I really didn't expect it.

I have an auratus male called Present 😊 he is my most chilled phormictopus no reaction unless its food or water not used a burrow since 2inches dls, he is a very pretty boy almost black with hints of bronze and red, I did have a small female green femur to but she unfortunately had a bad moult never shed her sucking stomach .
I have a sp bayahibe female to, I never see her though she burrowed n never comes out, I don't even see feet πŸ˜†. I only know she's OK because her food vanishes over night πŸ˜‚.

They are definitely fun to keep and in my experience every sp has its own personality. I find some genus's you can count on general behaviour, like with Nhandu they dig or thrixopelma are crazy, avicularia are webby rocks ect but these every sp is different. I recommend them highly when you decide to get a new floofer 😊.
