I WANT IT! I WANT IT! I WANT IT! :drool:

 

[SCORPIONNOOB]

What?!
I want that!!

Agreed! Sweet looking!

Kind of a mix of a GBB with an A.minatrix abdomen all thrown in with goodness of being an arboreal!

 

[Exo]

GIVE IT TO ME NOW!!!! :drool:

 

[rekabwerb]

Iridopelma?

Hey, I just started looking around for that on line and found this. It calls it Iridopelma seladonium. I don't know if this paper is correct, or you are, but I thought I would put it up cause it's got lots of cool info. Peace, ryan

Those are some nice looking T's. Females seem to be more colorful too thats a double bonus.

 

[Sathane]

Anyone have 'spider safe' pockets?
That's the only way you'll get them out of Brazil.

Seems like your right. This link is a big pdf but has those exact same pictures posted by the OP.

Looks like candy... I want to eat one!

But seriously, the abdomen looks amazing.

 

[Zoltan]

It's Iridopelma seladonium.

Cityzooguy, where did you get the name Avicularia seladonium from? As the article linked is a redescription of Iridopelma seladonium. The species was transferred from Avicularia to Iridopelma by Smith in 1993.

sry

my mistake, guess I was confused by the title of the article

changed the title

 

[Protectyaaaneck]

On Rick West's website it lists it as Iridopelma.

Great.. another one to write up onto 'me want' list...


Bet if it even makes it into the hobby anytime soon, it will be an outrageous price. Like $900 bucks a sling. Then people will find out they're impossible to breed in captivity. :wall: :wall: :wall:

I believe these are already in the hobby.

 

[dukegarda]

I see, just difficult to obtain then.

 

[WARPIG]

I am a huge idropelma fan and will go to great lenghts to collect as many sp. as possible. I would give up my P metallicas to get my hands on several of those impossible to obtain babes.

does anyone know what you have to do to be able to ship t's from a diff. country?

 

[Sathane]

From Brazil? Put it in your pocket and walk through customs without getting caught.

From what I've heard, the Brazilian government does not allow the export of their native Ts.

I want one, or ten, of these so bad.
