So, Australia does have a blue tarantula and it’s pretty sexy

[Paradoxy]

Absolutely stunning!

I was working on a breeding project to push towards a more stable blue phase in current Australian T's but this would pretty much make the work obsolete.

Makes total sense, considering the shear number of asian species with more ornate colours.. surely there is a good chance of something similar waiting to be discovered in the tropics.

Hey Steve do you know if this species holds onto it blue colouring after molt indefinitely?

Aside from the discovering (Which is always a good thing), this Theraphosidae, judging from the pic, doesn't trigger me at all.
To me seems just a new H. lividum (or C. lividus, or whatever the current scientific name may be).

While I'd love a 0.1 Selenotypus Champagne robustus, By Jove!

Very cool looking spider.

Gives off Chilobrachys sp. dyscolus blue vibes. Quick question Steve, do these retain the blue throughout their molt cycles?

I wish my c dysclosus sp vietnam blue was half this blue.

Wow ! That's pretty ! I'm pretty sure if Steve manages to get these beauties out here, they'll have a hefty price tag.

Not all of ours are 50 shades of brown. Phlogius sp. blue, from Qld. Enjoy Hi to all my old friends!!!

Hey mate I've been getting into tarantulas and find these guys amazing, I'd love to learn a bit more about these guys. Also are these rare in the hobby? I'm in nsw btw
