That would be the find of a lifetime!

Beautiful T! Congrats on the molt!
I didn't realize that they took awhile to show color.

If you want a brown one instead, I'll be glad to send my P. rufilata in exchange. And where was this Petco?

 

[pandinus]

nice. i like it.

 

[jdcarrel]

just out of curiousity, how much did you pay for it? The petcos in the area here tend to mislable t's especially when young.

 

[Mattyb]

Very beautiful T. I may have to get one of them.

There is a store here selling the same spider, callling them Cobalt Blues...
But I thought Cobalts were obligates? :wall: They have 4 of them...

But at $49.99 I figured that's WAY too much for a spider!




(just kidding eh?)

Hi, cobalts (H. lividium) sure do show some blues (esp. under the right lighting), however, they are a very different species of T from the one pictured (P. metallica), including origin, arboreal vs. terrestrial, venom potency, and most noticeably (aside from true looks), price! these p. metallicas are still selling for over $300 a piece in the US (for 1" slings)! hopefully, I'll get some egg sacs out of mine and get a little of that back!

peace, M
