Green tarantulas?

[klawfran3]

So is there a species of tarantula that is full on green? I know ephebopus uatuman has a green band, and C Cyaneopubescens has a greenish carapace, but my question is if there are any actually fully green tarantulas? there are purple, blue, red, orange, pink, yellow, and many others, but I have not been able to find a single solid green tarantula. what's the deal with that, and do any even exist?

P.cambridgei is mossy green; P.rufilata has a green hue...ish, an A.metallica is a sort of dark greenish color... But if you're talking the brilliant green of a GBB carapace but all over...none that I can think of.

Surprisingly, not that I know of. I have had that thought too. There are bright blue P. metallica's, bright orange P. murinus's, bright blue M. balfouri's but not really any green T's. I wish there was haha..

Oh boy, here we go again with the green lol... Avicularia sp. "kwitara" is the only one we know of that gets almost all green. The rest are only green in pieces and tiddly bits. Google away

Just what I was thinking was something like a striking green color. we all know P. Metallica is super bright blue, P. Murinus looks like a pumpkin, A. Purpea it's species name gives that away, but there really aren't any bright, mainly green tarantulas. all the ones with green just have accents or tints.

This might help some

haha sorry to "awaken the sleeping beast." I just was extremely curious and for the life of me forgot the answer to the old conversation

lol no problem. Just brought back the old thread for me, which went on for pages of speculation, and we couldn't come up with any others, at least not for now

 

[telepatella]

P. ornata, P. rufilata, P. cambridgei, H. incei, E pulcherrimaklaasi green femur - and others that I just don't recall right now - are green with accents or variegations of green. As far as a solid, uniform green, not yet.

This was brought up by me not long ago hahahh

Maybe there are lots of green tarantulas, just in remote places or have really good camouflage. I HIGHLY doubt there are no green tarantulas on earth.

I agree. Probably in a jungle somewhere, and they blend in with the foliage. Probability says I'm right.

In my opinion, the most green T is the c. schioedtei (Malaysian Earth tiger) It gets very very green

A relative of mine was quite disappointed when I told her that I couldn't have a proper ROY G BIV rainbow of tarantulas just because of the lack of distinctly green Ts. My Paraphysa sp. gets a nice green sheen to her right after molting, but most of the time she's pretty much black.

Interesting. In all the pictures I've seen of them (and I've seen dozens) they're blue-grey, black, and gold with yellow bands. Be nice if some adults turned up at a vendor around here so I could see them up close if they really are green.

fffff

Same here, I've never seen them as as very green at all. If Suntiger has pics...post or link, curious to see.

Euathlus trunculentus is pretty green.

 

[viper69]

Yeah it's pretty green if you are color blind hahahah jk.

+1. Where's the really green T's? Like green mambas, iguanas, and day geckos? I'm surprised there don't seem to be T's like that.

T. ockerti has a lot of green.
