It looks more like T.apophysis than T.blondi in my opinion

 

[CreepyExotics]

no it would have pink tipped legs these are small .like 2 '' . my T.apophysis look nothing like these ..... i have them too ...

Probably just a wierd color variation, esp if the 110 represent offsrping from 1-3 eggsacs....then they are sibs and some sort of recessive (likely temporary) color variant....
2 cents
Tony ;P

Yes, very weird specimen. Looks like T. apophysis but can' t be this species. Very hairy tarantula, even for a T. blondi. I hope this is not an hybrid apophysis - blondi created by someone. Are they wild caught specimen ?

 

[CreepyExotics]

yes i just asked the person who imported them to me . they are captive and from same sac but these 3 are different .

 

[Socrates]

I've got a simple explanation.

Your blondi is Catholic - she's carrying the sign of the cross on her back!


(Just a joke, no "flaming" intended of any sort, ok?)

Very interesting pattern, and you said 3 of them have this? Strange. Strange indeed. :?

You know you should start a designer color blondi breeding project...

 

[CreepyExotics]

anyone have anymore ideas?

 

[Crimsonpanther]

CRAZIENESS !!! Nice T though...very unique

 

[Blasphemy]

I would say keep all of the unique specimens for at least a couple of molts to see if they keep the patterns with each molt. Of course if I were you, I would just add them to my personal collection because who knows if this is some color varient from a specific region of south america...it may be something you might not come across again if you sell them

 

[wolfpak]

have they moulted in your care? maybe they'll lose those markings once molted?

 

[aaronrefalo]

you dont have to sell them for sure...keep them for your own collection maybe from does 3 a female and a male will come out(if lucky enough)...
