Colour variants of Pterinochilus murinus by locality

[ant ramblings]

Very informative thread and based on these pictures I think my adult female is umv light orange form .
This and rcf or sellers just listing them as obt seem to be the most common in the UK .
I do have a pair of juvenile kigoma dcf as well as a sling labelled as obt but I guess I will just have to wait and see what that turns out to be.

I have a Mikumi-DCF sling as well as a mature female, I think UMV but maybe someone knows better, she is bright orange! They both have awesome personalities and look really cool. Definitely in my top 5 species right now. Love these crazy little living gems.

They both look really cool but it's probably too soon to say if the orange one is umv or rcf . Not that I have an expertise.

They all kinda look the same when immature, so I wouldn't be trying to distinguish between them just yet.

I have OCF and UMV and they look exactly the same as slings.

I also have DCF Kigoma and it looks just like Harpactira pulchripes.

I agree. After some research it seems that UMV includes both RCF and OCF. OCF have dark/black detailing while RCF have redder detailing, spots and stripes. I'm starting to think that my mature female is RCF based off that info. Is it that simple? I could absolutely be wrong.
The sling/juvie is absolutely Mikumi-DCF, or at least that's what the breeder had it labelled as.
