no, not at all.. It was more of a question than anything.
Ok - sorry:8o

The spider in the picture had only moulted a few days previously and looks a lot darker and fresher than she normally would. As they get bigger they become more muted and browner - less striking than the highland form - but still very attractive spiders.

Best wishes Mal.

I thought that only the highland form had the black abdomens..
the highland have a tiger pattern on there bums where lowland go nearly all black and much larger than the highland form even the lowland males get big our largest was over 7 inch smallest 6.5 inch ,the one in the picture is 7 inch , mine and Davros p subfusca are from the same sacs , the female in the picture is over 7 inch for all the people who say these 2 forms are the same all i can say is your BLIND get some glasses LOL another thing do highland p subfusca produce sacs in warm temps at around 25-27 degrees i dont think so plus lowland form dont like the cold they thrive in warm conditions and even dont mind a dry spell i dont know why people are saying they are the same spider when they clearly dont look the same in colour & size & or behave the same ?
