I checked on my spiders today, and I noticed that my Green Bottle Blue, who had been in pre-molt the last couple of weeks, had molted and pushed its exuvium out of one of its web-tunnels....well, I wanted to see what my prize spider looked like in its new suit, so I opened up the webbing, and I was definitely not prepared for what awaited me....





I knew it would look better after a molt, but I had no idea it would look THIS friggin cool lol. I'm one happy camper to say the least. :D[/i]

Very Nice!

I wasn't aware that they have those pinkish stripes on the carapace.

Oh, man! Do they bite? (Just kidding!) You could almost light your bed room with that bug.

I hope you guys are just kidding. Those pics were taken in natural light, with no flash...I have no reason to, nor would I ever "enhance" my pictures.

Now that I have recovered from temporay blindness caused by the intensely bright GBB all I can say is . . .wow. . .

Gesticulator's itty-bitty is just too adorable. :D

I have got to get me one of these.

I agree. Its rather frustrating when all you want to do is share your excitement about your animals and some people are jealous enough to make rude, unfounded comments. :mad: :confused:

That was my first thought. Picture just doesn't look natural! :embarrassed:



The green/blue color hue and intensity vary greatly in Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens,especially when they are going over to adult coloration like that one in the photo.By its next moult the colors will even out as it still has some remnants of its juvenile/sling coloring mixed in.If you had kept more than 1 or 2 specimens or bred out a few sacs you'd know this,ive sold a couple of sacs to dealers and raised out about 200,there were every once in a while some off colors during the shift to adult coloration.

It's all about the variation. Mine also shows the pink, but the picture I snapped last night aren't quite as good.
