Colour Variations in Grammostola pulchripes

[Slythlyl]

Hey there! I find with G. pulchripes there are certain specimens with thick gold bands and gold accents in the carapace. With others, the bands seem thinner, more mustard yellow, and have a very pink tinted carapace. My own female is one of the very pink I find more common, but I have seen a couple of the more gold individuals at expos.
I haven't noticed colour differences in other species except ones already established as being separate ex. P. murinus or G. porteri vs rosea.
Does anyone else notice this, or is it just me seeing things?

AFAIK you are not allowed to post pictures that are not yours, just post links next time...
To me those picture show variation of light conditions, camera types and settings, rather than variation of G. pulchripes.
Last one seems to be photographed postmolt.

My mistake, I'm still unfamiliar with the community. I've corrected it, thanks for letting me know

There are definitely physical variations among species. Start keeping roach colonies and you'll appreciate it a little more.
