E. Truculentus opinions

[BobBarley]

You guys are making me drool... Hope there are some of these at the Sacremento reptile show in Sep. What about a pic in natural (sunlight) light?

Around $60 is what I paid for each of my two females, so for a male that would probably be on the expensive side.

Mine have the typical super-chill Euathlus temperament and are very good eaters but they don't really do much. The larger one burrowed a bit in one corner of her cage but for the most part they're (mine at least) kinda pet rock-y. Very beautiful though close-up with good lighting, especially fresh after a molt

Okay, that looks much more like my female. The reds are brighter, but that's all. I had a heart attack for a moment!

I'd get a picture of mine if she wasn't still recovering from her molt

Her colors will brighten up just after a molt the pics I took were 3 days or so post molt

Nope definitely not, probably Grammostola rosea, sp. "Maule", or sp. "Concepcion". That sucks.

When is the last molt and size? Is it confirmed male? if you know, and it does not appear to be E. truculentus to me.

As Bob said, looks more like a Maule.

All you guys with girls, gimme! I've got my guy on ice until I find some chicas!

 

[Andy00]

Well that was disappointing

Well that was disappointing

Grammostola sp maule are one of the most docile grammies out there and beautiful at that. Defiantly a keeper!

 

[Crone Returns]

Yours is probably very near its ultimate molt my MM is about 3" and ready for @ EulersK female.

Hey Boss
I want a couple. And an A. purpurea, and a male for my plump E. sp Red ( don't know where I got her). And....oh yeah. C. elegans. And....I'll think of more later.

 

[Andy00]

I might get their 2" n chromatus for $50

@Andy00

I believe you have the Euathlus "species"/genus confused. It's not even a genus in case you didn't know, ie, not scientifically characterized.

Only E. sp Red and E. sp Yellow have a great disposition. The one you mentioned does not. They aren't OW defensive, but they are larger, much more skittish and may flick as well. The Reds/Yellow are the the wonderful laid back Ts.

P. scrofa while smaller, than E. trunc, has very same skittish/flicky behavior.

Even G. pulchripes has a better disposition than both species you mentioned.

still isn't a mature male so I'm guessing it's a female. Would you agree?

No I wouldn't, esp w/out looking at it or with a molt.

Is this a good price for this species?

Not in my opinion.
