scrofa or parvula

Kron · Jul 1, 2015

Hi,
So I ordered a E. Parvula and what arrived looks a lot like a P. scrofa. She is however only 6 cm so I was wondering if It's just because she hasn't finished her colour change? The rest of my T's are fast growers and get their adult colours early on so I haven't got much experience on this

Scrofa for sure. Looks a lot like my female.

Well I'm not buying from bugzuk again then if that's the case

she's still very cute but I really wanted a parvulus

Her femurs do have an occasional tint of gold which I couldn't catch in the pics, does your scrofa have that? I know as spiderlings parvulus have orange femurs so I was hoping that'd explain why her femurs have both orange and gold in them

also I thought scrofa's were slightly temperamental but this one is so docile I can actually stroke it's abdomen

I'm sure if you contact them and say it's not a E.Parvulus they'll exchange the two.

Mine does have hints of gold on the femurs, my Scrofas never been temperamental, she's the only spider in my collection that I feel I could handle without her biting. She's never kicked hairs, never threat posed, just an all-round sweetie.

Ok :'( I think I'll keep her and see if I can get an actual one at the next BTS

They're cool spiders, I'm sure you'll love her as a part of your collection.

P Scrofa is an awesome species but mine is a bit of a monster. She's always out and about. I'd keep that Scrofa and order a the e parvula later. I have both and really couldn't say I prefer one over the other. Work something out with the vendor I've found 99% will do everything they can to fix a problem.

Well I've sent them an email, I'll tell you what they'll say. I'd be nice if they could send one without me sending her back, I doubt they'll do that but if they did I'd be very happy ^_^ I'd definitely use them again if they did but I suppose I'll have to wait and see. If they ask for her back it may be a tough decision because this one looks like a female plus she's so cuddly! I've called her Ursus (latin for bear, because she's scraggy and cuddly)

Whichi is probably what the seller was counting on...pretty lame in that regard. Anyways, I'd keep her too. Enjoy the little cuddler
