I have a Haplopelma lividum that was purchased as a smallish spiderling in November of 2006. Unfortunately, I have no pictures to share as I am still working on getting a decent digital camera.
I've never kept one of these guys before and I know that the females can be an absolutely gorgeous shade of blue while the males are more brownish-grey in colour with only a little blue under certain lighting. I don't know the gender of the one I have here, but it's leg span is about 2" or so by now and it's a really plain shade of rusty brown. I'm just wondering if I should expect that it will stay this color as an adult or if it will change as it grows. Are juveniles always brown?
Thanks in advance.
