Wow my P. cambridgei has blue pads under the front four legs...

Yup. Under-rated T IMO. Very cool species.

Psalmopoeus's ROCK! I have irminia, cambridgei, and pulcher, all raised from slings.

Beautiful Ts, post some pics of yours.

Later I'll get some shots. Right now all I have are ventrals that I have to look at and post up.

I am new to this sp. Being in my collection
And I also agree, they look hot.
Most of mine are slings but some at are about 1.5" and beginning to show awesome colors
Wondering when my irminia's leg tips (basitarsus?) will no longer be orangey.. They look great though,
As slings and as adults..

They will grow fast Bianca! Got a bunch of cambridgei last summer (2008) as 1st, yes first, instar. They are now around 3 inches in diagonal leg span.

Nice! Makes me look forward to watching mine grow. I just got 2 P. cambridgei yesterday with a few avics. This is combined with the 5 irminia already. The psalmos family is really growing on me. :drool:

I'm ashamed to say I used to think cambridgei were kind of ugly when I started looking around these boards but some are the most brilliant green I've ever seen! (except for a psalmo I had a dream about..) These look great frm slings to adults.

Well this is my only P. cambridgei that cooperated with a photo shoot. Ladies and gents, meet Digger, my largest of my slings. He's about 1.5" I'd say.

Surprisingly he didn't bolt out of the jar when I opened it up!

Here's a ventral shot..IDK if it's just me, but you can kinda see the blue under the tarsi. It's basically just starting to show.

No comments?

I cant see any blue in the picture, but I know what you mean.

Lucky you. One of my P. cambridgei slings escaped the night before and sqeezed through a crack in my desk. I'm leaving a few tree root hides I made misted with some water by the crack and doing random flashlight searches.

Good luck!

OP- I just ordered my first P. irminia the other day. I am looking forward to adding more from this genus to my collection!

Somebody needs to try to get a pic of the blue. I honestly make a lot of my decisions on what I want to get based on the pictures that people post. I wasn't all that interested in an OBT until I saw a pic on these forums of one posturing and showing the blue.

Psalmos are awesome! I agree the cambridgei are very underrated. So far mine have been very hardy and fun to watch.
