Good morning everyone!
So over n over again I've heard people use the fraise "true euathlus pulcherrimaklaasi" and see that allot of folks are mistaken what they thought was a euathlus pulcherrimaklaasi blue and finding out it's a Homoeomma sp, nevertheless both beautiful species but frustrating & confusing as hell when trying to get the one you really want. This misconception is obviously caused by allot of erroneous information & difference of opinions going back and fourth. So how can you tell if you have a "true euathlus pulcherrimaklaasi blue" without having to costly send a molt to a taxonomists to figure this out?
I've had my alleged euathlus pulcherrimaklaasi blue for over 2 years now bought fully matured and spent next to nothing for it, the seller obviously had no idea what kind of Tarantula it was, no scientific name, just labeled "Emerald Skeleton" i guess that's what it was referred to as its common name when bought from the whole saler. . .Being the 20 year tarantula collector veteran that I am and a huge fan of euathlus species I knew right away this was indeed a mistake on the sellers part and a opportunity not to be missed on mine and bought this "Emerald Skeleton" tarantula, think for under $40. When i finally got this possible diamond in the roth home and had a closer look I swear I'm no tarantula breeder or Arachnologist just a knowledgeable & devoted long time collector of theraphosidae but I'm 95% sure that my so called "Emerald Skeleton" is indeed the T I've been looking for a true euathlus pulcherrimaklaasi "blue femur beauty"!!
So pretty please with urticating hairs on top can someone who knows about euathlus please shed their expertise opinion on my debacle, give it to me straight and tell me what they think?
Thank you to everyone who's taken the time to read my thread and for all & any helpful informative feedback, I truly do appreciate it.
Here's some most recent pictures taken about a month or so post molt.
