I bought 10st P. striata slings, and I have raised them since.
I noticed that one of them became darker and darker, I think it´s melanism?!

Except that this appears to be Freak Poec Leg Night, that's a really cool looking poec. Btw Phalagorn, you don't happen to know anyone around Sweden selling slings/ subadults of Poecilotheria species with names that don't end with regalis or pederseni?

Offt: One black sheep in your flock..as you are one who doesn't get calm from smoking pot?

 

[sansoucie]

That's really strange and interesting. If you ever hear what the deal is, let us know. I am interested in hearing if this happens with other species too....

In the genus of Poecilotheria I heard about dark forms on, formosa, metallica, ornata and subfusca. I have seen a light form on a formosa that were almoust white! That what really amazing!
Btw there´s lots of coulor morphs on birdspiders!

 

[da_illest]

has it been kept in the same conditions as the others?

 

[sansoucie]

I think he spray painted it or injected the eggsac with that dye they use on baby chics ;P

Seriously though, it's awesome looking. I'd like to see the other side of the spectrum too.. the white ones.
