Cobalt Red Rump

Imported in large numbers 3 years ago when they were numerous and inexpensive Nobody in the US has successful bred them to my knowledge. I loaned my male to Bryant Capiz, he bred it to 4 females to no avail.

Not much known about this species, some believe that they are a Cyclosternum others a Chromatopelma species. A very colorful and docile species. They should be kept on the drier side with water dish. They have a very slow metabolism. They feed irregularly.

Is this just a color variation of the C. fasciatum? What is the difference?

I've heard of variations in E. pulcherrimaklassi. Please show us a pic of yours.

Thanks,

SO... What is the full scientific name of this species? And who sells them?

I want one and I want it now!!

Posted a similiar picture of Lillan before, and here I go again.

Vinmann keeps calling her a Homoeomma in his pricelist, while she does most resemble a Paraphysa to me. Anyways, peaceful as grass, as long as nothing annoys her when she eats. Then she rears around really fast.

They don't have a species name. They are just called Cyclosternum sp.

They are gentle critters, though I find mine likes to walk when I handle her.....and a little quicker (but not fast) than my Nevada Brown (Aphonopelma iodius). One of these days, I'll have to try to get a decent pix of her. I've had her for a year now and I still haven't given her a name yet!

We had a male that was unsuccessfully bred. Unfortunately he was euthanized by the person we loaned to and we wouldn't have found that out had we not persisted as to his condition. It was our first breed loan and the person we loaned him to said he was sluggish and did not seem to be doing well. We explained that he has always been a little sluggish but never exhibited signs of death. I would have preferred we got him back and let him die with us instead of being euthanized but live and learn. We got him fairly cheap from a pet store that did not know what he was. He was injured but very docile. We haven't found this species within the local pet trade for about 3-4 years now. In my opinion, this species would make another great addition to the starter series of T's for beginners. Hopefully successful captive bred populations will emerge soon enough but with our experience it probably won't be for some time.

Martin is that your head shot on your avatar. Looks like my head though I haven't cut a mohawk in a couple of years now. Slap bald is how it stays most of the time now.

for the US you are right, in Europe they are often sold as Homoeomma sp. (the first imported ones some years ago have been sold as "Grammostola sp.")

all the best,

Come to think of it, there was another thread on this species and I think they used the Homo. genus name. Her name was Lily or Lillian or something like that. You might want to look it up.

If not, I'll try to find it later.

Hello

I made my decision on not buying one of these since they're expensive(though she is a female)
I found that My E. pulcherrimaklassi looks kind of like this species
(exept for the blue carapace) I would rather get another pulcherrimaklassi(they're hard to find) Any ways I'll post pics of my pulcherrimaklassi soon so you can see why I really don't want to get this species.

any ways thanks for the info every one!
I guess you learn something everyday eh?

and have a nice day

Expensive? They usually run around $50, which is about the norm for lots of different species. I did see one significantly higher at one person's site, but you can't judge the average price based on one person's site. Do some research, though these are also hard to find these days. It's a shame, because they are a beautiful species and docile too.

hmm

Really? where did you find these $50 cobalt redrumps?

PM please!

I found one for three times that.

thanks.

have a nice day

wow!!

Really? where did you find these $50 cobalt redrumps?

when I bought mine it cost around $35 or less a couple years ago. I actually gave it away when I ran out of room. I really enjoyed this t when I had her. She was pretty docile too. How is the disposition of you guys' specimens?
