Awesome Chris, how do you keep these?
I'm getting one tuesday

 

[syndicate]

I keep them with deep substrate on the moist side.There burrowers but in the wild they can be found living under stones and bark or even under old metal scrap I guess.I house them the same as Haplopelma pretty much.

They look awesome as adults.Freshly molted they have some nice reddish hairs and apparently get quite large.

Oh that's lookin nice Tom!
Is that the species that was being called the blue leg or whatever??
-Chris

 

[Philth]

Yea Chris, I like this one becuase I can actually tell it apart from the other ones haha. Although I must omit, calling it a "blue leg" or "blue femur" is a bit of a strech. With out the flash of the camera its just another brown spider.

LOL!Yeah some of these Phlogius are def very similar looking.Hopefully We will see some papers from Raven in the future and they can get some real names!
