So I have 0.0.3 O sp Phan Cay Red arriving tomorrow. I plan on documenting as much of their care and upbringing here as I can much as I m currently doing with the O sp. Malthai group I have.
So here they are!….. well at east one that didn’t bolt into a burrow lol quite an attractive spider for how subdued the colors areSo I have 0.0.3 O sp Phan Cay Red arriving tomorrow.

I’m on the hunt for the blues right now. Do you have any pictures of yours? These guys are around 1” DLS rnIf these are anything like the Phan Cay "Blue", they'll start coloring up at surprisingly small sizes.

Update:
All three have taken their first crickets with me. They all have great feeding responses.
Both sp Phan Cay, and Phan Cay Red are undescribed on the species level. Generally, aside from significant morphological differences such as shape of spermathacae, the setae coloration and structure as well as stridulation organs and such. Given that these have yet to be described on a species level there isn’t much beyond that I can tell you. This is one of the reasons I want to get ahold of the Phan cay. I’d like to do a morphological comparative analysis as they get bigger.What defines the red or the blue? Many Asian spp. have huge change in color from juvenile to adult, or can have color variations from different locales. I currently have 1.4 phan cays and am not aware of this.
One of the three I just picked up is around 2.5” and has that violet iridescence on the femurs. I can’t wait for these guys to get biggerIf these are anything like the Phan Cay "Blue", they'll start coloring up at surprisingly small sizes.
My two "Blue"s started coloring up with their most recent molt which brought them to around 2" DLS. More of a blue-black iridescence in this case.One of the three I just picked up is around 2.5” and has that violet iridescence on the femurs. I can’t wait for these guys to get bigger
Something tells me they aren’t gonna look like the picture in the advertisement though lol. Once I can sex the males out I plan on keeping them cooler so the females grow quicker. I should have a decent ratio with 0.0.6. At least I hope soMy two "Blue"s started coloring up with their most recent molt which brought them to around 2" DLS.
