Haplopelma Blooming

[Vayu Son]

My little lividum has grown from a pitch black burrower to an ugly-tan spider and now is developing the black/blue bands on the legs.

Anyone know if lividum is sexually dimorphic at this stage?

Enjoy.

I think he looks pretty normal colored for a cobalt his size. Has it been a while since his last molt?

I'm not positive but I don't believe male sexual dimorphism is apparent until his ultimate molt.

I have no way of tracking the molts due to its burrow, but it is a pretty slow grower. Im not familiar with the rates for this species.
