Got this today (just one, unfortunately)... All I can say is, wow. Note the 7th leg on its right side is blue, interestingly. I wonder if it was regenerated at some point and it 'malfunctioned' and came out like the more anterior/posterior legs?

Another pic, of the caudal legs... Amazing contrast from the central/main body legs.

VERY COOL, Bill! Like the others said, great coloration! Where was it brought in from? I'd be curious to know. It'd be nice if they came in in no less than pairs. *lol* It'd help out a lot when it comes to breeding.


adios,
edw. :D

I am assuming Malaysia, but this specimen has traded hands across at least two suppliers, so I can't say for absolute certain.

I'm trying to get a more reliable source for them, but so far nada.
