Hi,

What's with the frown face?

Can you explain the reasoning behind your claim that this spider is E. truculentus? Can you explain how you can know this species even belongs to the genus Euathlus? I understand your English is not very good.

I've seen pictures of yours that you've emailed to people. Without jumping to conclusions... I honestly feel you're selling the same species as different things. Just my opinion.

You also have Paraphysa parvula on your list... if anything the species pictured above is more likely to be this, than E. truculentus.

This species is highly variable in color between molts/sizes/sexes. I've seen photos of what you were selling as P. parvula and they were the same spider! But maybe this was just a mistake.

Edit - also, (and I can't say your not doing this) but why don't you start documenting as much as you can about these species and breed them in captivity. Then export the CB spiderlings and stop selling WC adults. Just a thought! This species grows VERY slow, and every adult taken has to have an impact. We can easily get a CB group established, and you can help!

Typically I never get WC stuff... but I accepted a few of these WC specimens (I did not purchase them) for the sole purpose of breeding them.
