Aphonopelma crinirufum

[aftershock]

Large juvenile/subadult

[Aviculariinae]

VERY very nice indeed. :}

[aftershock]

I'm just waiting for the same colurs as Ephebopus Cyan..., guess the blue will come after her next molt.

[Aviculariinae]

I didnt think they got much more blue(r) than this,I have never kept any Aphonopelma spp. Would the crinirufum get as much blue as Cromatopelma cyaneopubescens

[aftershock]

No only the fangs, they get metallic blue!

[Joe1968]

that is very beautiful!!!! :) its a quite rare species here in the U.S.

[aftershock]

Yo don't see them around here very often either.

[rtshaw80]

Thats a wicked looking aphonopelma.

Where are they originally found (range)?

[Lochala]

She is so gorgeous!! :} Are they a desert species or tropical?

[Scorpiove]

NOW that is an amazing spider. :)

[aftershock]

It's a tropical species and from what I've heard and read they are found in the area around Costa rica.

[Cooper]

WOW, stunning blue.

[vulpina]

Awesome looking T!!!

[Lochala]

I think i'll be getting one soon.

[Citharischius]

Very nice picture's you've made :eek: :) !!

[Freddie]

OMG my slings should become blueish!
Have to get rid of those immediately.

Too bad they grow so slow. :) Would be nice to see a bit their color before i get rid of them LOL Or then they are not even crinis...

Nice pics anyway.

[Greaper]

I remember when swifty had these. Costa Rican Blue Fronts is what he sold them as. Nice looking spiders!

[mouse]

how much do they cost? it's definatly an aphonopelma that's on my want-list.

[Greaper]

As of right now i dont think they are availible in the US

[USMuscle9403]

Did you provoke her to get into a threat display or are they that aggro? What other little idiosyncrasies that are different from your typical Aphonopelma ?

[Pheonixx]

Very nice. Is that spider asking for a hug or did you make it mad?

[aftershock]

At the moment they are subadult and are male and female. I guess both will be mature after the next molt. Then it's mating time..:) after that my male will fly to denmark and make sweet love to a danish lady..:)

They are a very defensive species. The fastest and most "aggresive" Aphonopelma sp. I've delt with.

[Arachnoking]

They dont realy get much more blue than that one in the pic. They only get a powder blue colour and not the kind of metalic blue seen in Ephebopus cyanognathus.

Very nice spiders all the same :)

What Dean says is right iv seen them with more blue on the chelicerae then in aftershock's pic's but never with more blue then that on the legs.
