I don't think this species gets quite the attention it deserves..
Absolutely beautiful spiders!After molting they sport an awesome jet black coloration.
Here's a newly molted Chilobrachys dyscolus female enjoying a dubia male









thanks for looking!

The color is amazing. Almost dark blue in the last picture, or is that because of the light?

How big is it, and how's the temperament? :worship:

Thanks!These spiders can be heavily defensive if disturbed.Often holding a threat posture for long periods of time.I've also seen them stridulate on several occasions.This is a large female close to I would guess 6.5-7" legspan.In person they truly look jet black!

If you don't mind Chris I am going to post a couple pics! These are the best ones I could get seanbond, she was NOT happy to see me as usual.





And yeah Chris I would love to use a male but unfortunately mine has the "hernia"/"blister" things typical of some wildcaught specimens. They are going away but VERY slowly. You can clearly see them on her abdomen in the pic. They are actually less visible when she's fat with food. Maybe once they are gone I could breed her but until then I think I'll hold off :(
