Is "Thailand Blue" Exists?

[Asterisk]

Hi. I'm one of the mania live in South Korea.

Recently, One of the shops introduced "Thailand Blue".
The Shopmanager Said: It is Haplopelma livlidum, But it lives in thailand, So it grows much bigger and shows more blue color than normal Haplopelma livlidum.

Do USA, UK or Other countries compare 'Thailand blue" with normal Haplopelma livlidum?
I hope to get answers. thx

If that is not your pic it needs to be removed before the mod's see it and delete it.Just a heads up......

I am going to guess its a Lampropelma violaceopes another blue one and get up to nine inches

or

malaysian blue femur (coremiocnemis brachyramosa but now called Psednocnemis brachyramosa) which is kept like lividums

-----------------

thx. but they sell 'haplopelma lividum'
(cuz I saw many pictures, and I had kept Psednocnemis brachyramosa. So I can compare them)

Is shops, or keepers distinguish haplopelma lividum 'Myanmar ' with 'thailand'?

if you are asking if its a new species of haplopelma its possible, haplopelma live in the part of the world that include Thailand. if you are wondering if their is two types of lividum one smaller than the other then no. we do not have two different version of lividum over here in the states (at least nothing I am aware of)

ultimately we would need a picture of what you are talking about to either id it or see if its just a normal lividum or another haplopelma species like the longipes

this is one of the cobalt blue-but shopkeeper said this is the one from thailand, it grows bigger, shows more blue color than normal cobalt blue.

Is it true?

 

[rob0t]

Sounds like the shop keeper is just trying to make an extra buck. So I'd so no, not true as far as I know.

 

[MarkmD]

Looks like a normal cobalt to me.

 

[rob0t]

The shopkeeper could possibly also be referring to albostriatum that goes by the common name Thai Zebra. The albostriatum is the less colorful of the two though.

 

[spiderengineer]

yeah but he said the shopkeeper said its more blue than the lividum so I said it could be a longipe

Never trust the shopkeeper. Of course, there are exceptions, but those are rare. I wouldn't buy that spider if I were you.

The general consensus seems to be that the ones coming from Thailand are smaller and brighter, and the ones from Burma are bigger and darker. Although there will of course be variations in each population, and between each spider, and also depending on how the spider is kept
