Poecilotheria subfusca discussion

i have not seen any highlands in person but i do not think they have any olive tones ether

I would say my 4" 1.0 subfusca HL juvi has some kind of other greenish colour to it (I'm colourblind to an extent so I wouldn't like to guess what colour that actually is )

I'll get an image / video of it posted shortly

i might be wrong, if so i would love to see proof of the contrary

Here he is. As mentioned, I'm more likely to be incorrect with my colour vision being limited

nice

maybe, there is a tiny spot on the femur of leg 4, close to the trochanter, that looks like it could be a little green, some of the colours are however only produced by light breaking on the molecular structures at certain angles, like the blue tones in P. metallica, but in general i would say it doesn't have any green tones.

still a gorgeous animal

I'll ask for good eye of my other half to take a proper look in the flesh but I agree, if anything it's touches of some shade of very subtle green

As strange as this may seem, my colourblindness sometimes allows me to see things others can't (or maybe fills things in incorrectly, more likely)
e.g. my partner no longer asks me to check her fake tan as I can pick out patches and streaks neither her or anybody else does. My friend who has more severe colourblindness could also see the areas I pointed out....go figure that out. 2 people with colourblindness able to see colour changes that people with perfect vision could not.

I’m just noticing something interesting and honestly kind of disturbing. P. Subfusca is on the endangered species list, so therefore cannot be transferred state to state in the US let alone imported legally since 2018, the guy with the new form states they were collected in 2020, so they would have been illegally collected and taken overseas, to which now they are in the US which would also have been done illegally. Also, if they could do a dna test to know it is different from highland and lowland why would they not have entered there data into scientific data to describe a new species? This is all very fishy too me
