Did you breed that?

Poecilotheria hanumavilasumica, ive never heard or seen that one before, are they very rare?

Any adult photos?

very rare in the hobby and theres some angry people that they are in the hobby aswell.they look exactly like p.fasciata except that the leg banding on leg 4 is slightly different.
read:
Poecilotheria hanumavilasumica is closely related to the Sri Lankan species P. fasciata, but can be distinguished by the presence of a narrow black apical band on the ventral surface of femur IV. In P. fasciata this marking is fragmentary and limited to two small patches at the apical end of the segment. The two spiders can also be distinguished by the differences in colour of the ventral surface of the posterior legs, which in P. hanumavilasumica are a distinctive pale lilac/violet and in P. fasciata a pale grey/blue.
