Here's a couple shots I took this morning of an ~2.5" Ephebopus cyanognathus.

Ephebopus cyanognathus...

The drool cloth has been put into service...
Blue fangs are easily one of the most beautiful tarantulas on the planet.
I have one 4" female that I have posted in here somewhere recently.
One thing that is much to my dismay is that my girl is very elusive, keeping to herself in her deep burrow. Coming out at night to poop on the sides of her tank. Her calling card I guess... LOL. :p
BTW... any males out there? We need to breed these breathtaking beauties! :) :razz:

Be carefull if you are going to buy fossor. Sometimes fossor is mixed up with rufescens. I have never seen a picture of an adult fossor. Before rufescens was described, the species was sold in Europe as fossor.

Hi,

i'm sure we don't know what's E.fossor. The Holotype is lost and the description is very old and not very good. So nobody can tell you what's E.fossor! So i think they don't breed with E.rufescens.

In the US some dealer sold E.fossor slings some month's ago, but nobody show pictures etc. because this i think it's rufescens.

Cheers,
Steffen

I can't wait to get my E. cyanoganthus slings. These pictures only make me anticipate that more

There are just too many pictures of blue fangs in this thread :} This is not one of my better pictures, but I didn't want to distrub it further. It's feasting on a roach.

E. rufescens.
