Color changing A. Seemanni??

[jesses]

I have what I thought was an A. Seemanni that I bought from a petstore who didn't know for sure what it is. It made a deep burrow in its subtrate, and is extremely fast, skittish, and defensive. She will leg-strike anything that I poke into her burrow, and rear up and show fangs, as well as flip onto her back when she gets really mad (very much like my H. Lividum).

She molted a day or so again, and is now a solid BLUE. She looked exactly like a textbook Seemanni before this molt... salmon-colored bottom and everything. I'm thinking that this might not be a Seemanni since they aren't supposed to turn dark blue! Do H. Lividum's change color like this?

does it still show leg striping? sometimes when this species molts the are kind of blue looking for a day or two.

All I can see is her underside and theres no stripes there. This is a fresh molt so I'll give it a few days.

With the seemani there are different color variations. We also had a seemani that was very dull looking. When she molted out she was a very pretty blue. They can be black or blue. We were like you in thinking we had something different, so I asked here and this is what the pro's told me. Hope this helps, Pam
