Have you still got this spider by any chance? If so any chance of a recent picture, pretty please. That is without doubt the most awesome, stunning, p.murinus I have ever seen!

I dont think this member uses the forums anymore.

The spider pictured is an old Usambara Mountains Variant.

Thanks for the reply.
Is that common for the umv to have that orange and contrasting light carapace?
Many thanks

Its not common for most murinus labelled Usambara in the hobby as most are unfortunately mixed with OCF/RCF(which dont have the trait).

True UMV will have cream carapace that is more visible the longer since last moult. It is more obvious in older specimens. A little similar to how you see P. metallica and some of the Harpactira setae darken with age.

The specimen in that photo is one of the best examples of that happening to UMV.

Thanks for taking the time for the information, very interesting. I've seen p.murinus in quite a few different forms over the years, but that specimen is amazing!
I don't suppose you'll have any p.lapalala and p.murinus DCF slings for sale in the near future? I would like to have both in my collection. I thought I just wanted these two species and a h.marksi, and I was done with Africans, but now I need a p.murinus like the one pictured. The list never ends! Damn you spider addiction, I need help/rehab or just more spiders!!!
Cheers mate

I am waiting for my lapalala males to mature then will hopefully get a brood. I have slings of murinus UMV, murinus BCF Tete and murinus DCF Kigoma just hatched

It seems as though everyone likes to start their own threads with their own animals. That just seems little odd to me as every other forum that I'm pretty active in (pretty boring, it's just local fly fishing stuff... ), there's really just one thread for each subject. or in this case, each Genus...which to me seems really reasonable....ok, with that out of the way, here's the latest pic of my youngster (finally starting to hang out a little more). I can't wait until he or she gets a little larger. Not totally sure what the fuss is on these with regard to "aggression", shy is really how I'd personally classify this one, but then again, I also gave it plenty of substrate to burrow and quite a few anchor points to web (those are all covered, so mission accomplished there) plus they look really cool. I'm really looking forward to (if it ever happens) to when I can throw the cage in the light box with the lid off so I can get a little clearer pics without shooting through plexiglass.




Now, if my P. lugardi would make an appearance after however many months she's been buried, that would be great.
