You will see more of these at Stuttgart ;-)

nice but they look better in real life Soren!

 

[phormingochilus]

Yeah it is hard to capture the beauty of this black beast on a photo. But at least you can see the massive legs, much more short and stocky than we are used to see in Cyriopagopus. And it is sweet and cuddly as a pussy cat - just as the Singablues when they get fully grown ;-)

She was kissed by it! The poor critter's attempts wasn't received well by the cold hearted ice queen ... ;-)

Cyriopagopus sp. "blue" - Adult female. This is the girl I bought from you in Hamm Søren! She is really nice!

 

[Steven.WK]

Got some pics of my girl the other day.

 

[BEN-V]

Wow, great shots !:clap:

 

[TarantulaLV]

Here she is! 3.0 inches. Thanks for the amazing adult female shots above! She looks purplish its the lighting. Color coming in

 

[Arachnophilist]

Oh man I ave a one inch blue s'ling cominnext week I can't wait! they all look so nice.

 

[JOYride]

This is my beauty. Also from Søren.

 

[Steven.WK]

Thanks. She's such a good girl that she sat still long enough for me to get a ton of shots.

I wonder if it's the angle of the shots. But my spider seems stockier than the other pics posted, the legs look thicker. Could there be a body difference between same species but different locations. Mine is from Malaysia.

 

[phormingochilus]

Your specimen is older - it can be seen by the more dark carapace and the darker blue coloration. It is the same species => body morphology is the same = not stockier by locality but by age ;-)

Did I post this here before? Big female:

Ah that explains it. Do you know when these spiders are matured? Since mine is about 7". I thought it's a young adult or maybe even sub-adult.

Kool pic btw .. she must type really fast with all those legs

 

[phormingochilus]

When they get the blue colouration they are sexually mature. When the carapace darkens their growth slows down and they are fully mature. The female in he picture is around the 9", but they can grow to 10".

Are you refering to the blue as opposed to that purple coloring that juves seem to have? The younger ones are colored too do they chang at the 7 inch mark or so? Maybe this was answered above if so I apologize.
