Hi all,
First off, I'm most proud. My C. fasciatum has decided to be a top dweller, for some odd reason. Several times a day, I'll hold it's jar to a light, just to see the coloring. Especially the metallic orange on the cephalothorax. So, I have a question. Other than genetics, and heredity, how do colors that we see on tarantulas show at all? I know of very few animals that have this beautiful metallic sheen to their color, other than fish and chickens...
Peace,
Gillian
