I know, you need pictures. But my camera is in hiding, and has been for several months. So I will try to describe.
I got this T about a year ago, as a pink sling. The first molt after arrival went into color, making it a juvie.
It has molted 5 times in the past year, with only tiny increases in size till last week, that time it went from 1.5 inches to a little over 2 inches.
The abdomen is black with black hair. The carapace is orangey brown with just a smudge of black in the area of the eyes. The femurs are black, and the feet are black, but the entire rest of the legs are red/ orange. There is no black at all between the femurs and the feet.
Does anyone know if this is a juvenile coloration, and the stripey black and red legs will emerge in a few years?
I like this critter, I wanted a boehmii, but the seller convinced me a smithii would be a better choice (I forget the reasons now). Anyway, if its not a smithii, I still want one, so that would be my next T.
Any information out there?
