Hi,

Lampropelma Violaceopedes (Singapore Violet) sounds like a beautiful tarantula, but they are expensive...Botar and the others selling them don't have any picts of them posted....does anyone have one that you could post/send to me?

Thanks

The spider often sold as Lampropelma violaceopes.

Sub-Adult female





Adult female





I don't think they are particularly violet myself, although the adults are certainly more purply than the juveniles which are a steel blue colour.

Just an FYI, specific names cannot be plural... so it should be Lampropelma violaceopes. It's being listed improperly on some US sites.

Thank all of you for your replies and pictures..

I am still trying to figure out how I managed to miss the pictures on John Hoke's website..... probably the fact that it was like 2 in the morning I guess. ;-p

Thanks
Tim

I cant find the pic anywhere, once I saw a pic of a T that was very purple. Are there any other species that might be more purple?
