Pamphobeteus nigricolor.

Here she is, growing like crazy. Just molted this past week.

Looks like a girl, no?

Now I just hope my other is a male. Not to breed of course (they're siblings...can't do that ) but so I can eventually see the mature colors of a male nigricolor. The big girl's awesome too though.

Yep. Bryan (Cronoss) and I got 2 from another vendor. When they arrived, they had stickers with Todd's batch numbers on the containers. I kept them both and they both turned out to be females. Bryan later got 2 slings ( they are about 4" now) on a trade. These proved to be 1 of each gender. He was kind enough to sell the male to me.

Thanks James.

Individuals of P. nigricolor go through quite a color change as they mature. The one pictured in my avatar ( at about 4") now looks similar to the one pictured above.

I've found that these spiders are rather "defensive". My larger individuals often rear up and occasionally strike. I have never witnessed these behaviors in any of my X. immanis. I can't comment on how closely these two genera are related from a taxonomic standpoint.
