Freshly molted female Avicularia azuraklaasi

Are those newer to the hobby? I don't ever recall seeing one.

They're not new to the hobby... but likely not a unique species (like quite a few Avicularia).

Probably a regional variant of the avicularia/metallica complex... but a REALLY gorgeous spider regardless!

minatrix sling:

laeta Juvenile male:

laeta female (don't see pictures of these very often), but she's not very pretty, needs a moult badly.

My avicularia sp. (metallica? - never known exactly), moulted recently. Hope you'll enjoy

That looks like Avicularia "braunshauseni", this species has the red setae on the rear legs that your T seems to have. They grow to be quite a bit bigger than A.avic, but look quite similar.

 

[MindUtopia]

I was thinking the same thing. About what size is this one now?

 

[sebeke]

LS about 5 in, mature female, had an eggsac this year. I think it's an a.metallica or a.avicularia.

 

[Tegenaria]

She's a beauty!

wow great pic ! love the colors.

 

[Nick_schembri]

A.avic doesnt usually have red setae on the rear legs....and A.metallica has a blue black abdomen with no red at all. The toes of A.metallica would also be white-ish.
