[stevetastic]

and now i got my very own blue fang!

also got this lady labeled as Chilean Beautiful

is it a Chilean Beautiful? If it is whats the current genus for this beauty? seems to be mixed up a bit:?

Very nice Ts! I am not sure on the ID though.

t's

very nice t's btw where did you get your blue fang?

 

[stevetastic]

from the ny expo

 

[Richard McJimsey]

Euathlus truculentus

 

[stevetastic]

would the chile beautiful be Paraphysa parvula or Euathlus truculentus?:?

 

[J.huff23]

I say P.parvula.

 

[Richard McJimsey]

I say P.parvula.

Why?
I know coloration is not a good basis to get an ID from, but the common name for Euathlus truculentus is "Chilean Beautiful", and that is atleast something. Rather than just saying "parvula" based on it's looks, they both look very similar.
I'm sticking to my Euathlus truculentus ID.

 

[IncyVinceySpiders]

i agree with Euathlus truculentus...

i had one, but it unfortunatley died

 

[stevetastic]

i read somewhere that Euathlus truculentus in the hobby might actually be Paraphysa parvula. i dont know the validity of that tho.

it doesn't show up in the photos very well but but the back half of her abdomen has tufts of hair that form stripes. its very cool looking. i think she is in need of a molt tho.

How big would you say your blue fang is?

 

[stevetastic]

i would say about 1.25''-1.5'' legspan

Regards Mikael.

Hmm well they grow pretty slow. I bought my 1" about 9 months ago and it's only almost 4".
