nice :) how big?

are they Homeomma sp. "Blau" and have got a sientific name now or is it another spider in the same genus?

[priZZ]

I think both of You speak about the species, that are available under the name Homoeomma sp. "blue", but they are also sold under another variety of names: Paraphysa sp., Grammostola sp. etc.

[LPacker79]

Or Cyclosternum sp. "Cobalt red rump." Also sometimes called a Chromatopelma species, depends on who you're talking to.

Homoeomma, are you in denial? :)

What distinguishes brasilianum from villosum, uruguayense, strabo, simono, familiare, elegance, etc? And how, as noted, does it relate to Homoeomma sp. 'blue' and sp. 'Peru'?

Personally I think they look mostly alike Paraphysa scrofa, but I am a jackhammer in a taxonomist-world of laser-cutters.

Edit. Curseit! Two posters above me just becuase of the glitchiness of these boards or the connection between me and them.

Gosh, Cobalt Red Rump is truely to me one of the most beautiful T's :D

Euathlus pulcherrimaklaasi = Homoeomma sp. "blau" ?
weird, Herwig sold both of them and I had a look and they dont seem to look the same.. :?

[FryLock]

*sigh* ;) spider at the start of the thread is most lightly what is called Homeomma.sp "Peru" (also called a Cyclosternum.sp as pointed out) and also as pointed the spider sold as pet trade E.pulcherrimaklaasi is Homoeomma. sp "blau" it's not the same thing as Homeomma.sp "Peru" tho.
