Indeed it i,. Euathlus pulcherrimaklassi, sir!...i have a few....waiting on a sac from my largest female!
Oh, alright! I thought you meant it's another Paraphysa sp :) My bad then and I apologize!

Love those as they are totally underrated and really, really beautiful! Can't wait for my sling to start showing adult color which will certainly take quite a while before that happens :) You're a lucky man having a sack soon! Are they that rare as over here btw?

ya id say CB specimens are very rare!...a local dealer here in BC brought in a import from Chile, and I got a bunch of them...males, and females...I have since paired up the mature ones, and playing the waiting game!...It would be a awsome, and im sure a first to have this sp CB (in canada anyway) in the hobby!

I also have the green femur variants aswell....sketchy lil buggers!

Awesome! Yeah, I only know of spidershop.uk that sells them really, but those are (as far as I know!) all WC,. The sling I got is CB and the breeder doesn 't list them as for sale, only on special request he's selling them! Maybe you can start introduce them into the hobby in Canada and have a talk with tarantulacanada even about selling them? :)

Looks like a lowland to me (for what that's worth). The black, stripe-less abdomen, pale carapace with not-as-raised ridges, I think those are some of the hallmarks of the lowland variant. GORGEOUS! I can't wait til my little girl looks like that :D

Now, this is hearsay, so don't quote me... I have a few sac mates that are a little over a year old (~2"). Reportedly, the parents came from the same source (though not necessarily same sac...?), and looked the same until the male matured with green femurs. It was speculated that green femurs = sexual dimorphism. Any light you can shed on that theory? My babies aren't showing either blue or green yet.

I honestly have no idea on that theory,...but i would count it out.

I guess the only way for me to find out, will be to get a sucsseful sac, and raise a bunch of slings

Of your mature stock, do you have both MM and MF blue femur, and both MM and MF green femur?
My slings came from a blue F and green M. I have no plans to breed either of them since I don't know if blue and green are variants of same sp or separate sp altogether.
As slow as they are growing, I may not live long enough to see them mature anyway. LOL

Spidershop.uk sells them as different species, as the green species seems to reside within a certain space BETWEEN blue and red species...if they have them for sale, there's usually an article attached from the collectors that got the WC ones. Hope that helps maybe.
