[pandinus]

[pandinus]

nice additon...the cobalt looks really dull brownish in colour..

 

[pandinus]

oh gee thanks

 

[metzgerzoo]

Can you get a top shot of that Hap? That doesn't look much like a lividum.

 

[pandinus]

here you go.

looks like a h. minax...ain't a lividum

H. lividum isn't always "Cobalt Blue," as everyone seems to think. I believe the Tarantula Keeper's Guide notes that the blue is VERY difficult to photograph, even under the "right light."

It looks like a Haplopelma sp. to me...

 

[becca81]

Don't forget that H. lividum like to burrow a lot. I may be looking at the picture wrong, but it looks like there isn't a LOT of substrate. I've seen people keep them in tall cereal-style enclosures, with substrate up to almost the top, so they have plenty of room.

Congrats on your new additions!

that's definitely not a lividum...
it would be chilobrachys, selenocosmia or even coremiocnemis sp IMO...

 

[jeffh_x]

yea its not always blue as everyone expects...but the color on that T is dull brown to black..i guess if it is a female cobalt, which it looks like a female to me, will have at least a chinch of blue..well i dare say it isn a lividum..

just my 2 cents..

 

[dkny_stylez]

its a male lividium?

 

[David Burns]

its a male lividium?

Rosies are reddish
Male cobalts are blue
Until their last molt
then they're brown with hooks too.

i have corrected the original post. the second spider was mislabeled. it is actually a Chilobrachy spp.
