identify species?!?

[b.donahue]

she was sold as a singapore blue ...just curious if that is her true species because she has cobalt features.... in this pic she has freshly molted, she has red hairs that cant be seen in the pics and her underside is a reddish color.

looks like A. seemani

 

[BrynWilliams]

I would agree with the above, A seemani

 

[evicton]

Could be an A. Seemani, it is not in any way a singapore blue though.

 

[jayefbe]

Someone either lied or had no idea what they were talking about. Definitely not an L. violaceopes and not a H. lividum either.

 

[xhexdx]

Yeah, not violaceopes or lividum.

If you can, try and relabel those pictures so people don't run searches and think that's what L. violaceopes looks like.

ooo! very pretty seemani you have there!

yeah, i have a feeling that thing wouldn't enjoy an arboreal setup

 

[Arachnopets]

If it was sold to you as a Singapore Blue, then you got ripped off and I would go back to the seller and ask for a price adjustment at the very least.

It looks like it has urticating hairs. Definitely looks seemani-ish. It's nothing old world, regardless.

Good Luck!

VERY pretty A. seemanni! I've heard of these coming in a bunch of colors, from a drab brown with tan stripes, to black with white stripes, to blue with white stripes. Looks like you got one of the bluish ones here.

That is a nice seemani, it looks recently molted. Can we assume that the date on your camera wasn't set up and the pic wasn't really taken in 2004?

FYI there is (according to who you ask) a blue phase A. seemani which really just looks black until you hit it with a flashlight. It's possible this is how the species got mixed up as a Sing Blue. In any case, the two species couldn't be much more different. If you paid sing-blue prices somebody owes you some money.

Aphonopelma seemanni... for sure. I've had a few of these in the past. Yours looks fairly young too. Very nice T.

 

[Teal]

Very pretty! Looks the the jury has spoken on the species!

 

[b.donahue]

Thanks alot for the id. This was my first T my wife picked it out and bought it for me i think she payed 60 bucks for it. It was 2'' now it's 3'' after her recent molt. i didnt think it was singapore after i seen a few online but still a very pretty T. She has alot of blue even without any camera flash or lighting very spunky too.
