My seemanni have a blueish tint. Can i consider it blue form?
Thanks for all the replies.
These reason I ask is because I recently saw a specimen about the same hue as this one. I wanted to be sure as to whether or not it is the blue color form.

Mine is a WC spider that was a very dull brown when I got it but after it molted 1 time in my care has remained blueish ever since even during premolt.

Hey does anyone know if they are blue ....do they stay that way or do they change as they get older?

Cuz when I got mine as a sling it was black/brown and now it's blue

Thanks

In captivity they seem to stay more blue. This is just my speculation but I think they dont get the brown color possibly since they eat more and molt more often in captivity. Again, that's speculation but I believe that could possibly be the case.

This was mine when i bought it - as a girl.


In about a year she became brown/black.


After another few month she became he and the colour changed to black and purple (no stripes).
Sorry no picture.

This is the 3rd picture of the same spider (first two are on the previous page)

It is like 3 different spiders...

I have a blue/black one as well, possibly male. some of the stripes are pinkish after a molt.
