that is a Chromatopelma cyanopubescens, it is on my wish list it is a desert species (Found near Coro cerca de los medanos) thats all the info i have as i understand they are not that hard to keep

The picture was hard for me to see. But if it is a Chromatopelma cyanopubescens (common name: green bottle blue), here is a short description for them. I pulled this off of www.swiftinverts.com. I am sure there are more care sheets for them, but this gives you a general idea.Originally posted by ORION_DV8

Yes, but Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens was placed in Delopelma until pretty recently. Given the slow rate at which taxonomic changes are reflected in some dealer's price lists, I'd bet the spider in question turns out to be a C. cyaneopubescens.Originally posted by conipto
Before this thread goes too much further.. Delopelma was synonomized with Aphonopelma, not Chromatopelma. The site above may have it mislabeled. I would expect a brown tarantula, that prefers a drier climate, with only that to go on.
