does anyone have a link to information on the singapore blue T. ? and does anyone have information on the singapore violet T. ?
Um, he asked about both species:RVS said:I may be wrong but I think he's speaking of Lampropelma violaceopes, not Cyriopagopus sp. "blue". If so, I'd be interested in learning more as well.
Search for Lampropelma violaceopes , should give you some resultsmasticore1984 said:does anyone have a link to information on the singapore blue T. ? and does anyone have information on the singapore violet T. ?

http://www.eightlegs.org/general/species.html said:Lampropelma violaceopes Singapore Violet;
Malaysian Blue Femur Found in Malaysia. It's unknown if this spider actually lives in Singapore, and it's further unclear exactly what species Abraham attributed to the genus Lampropelma. He may have jumbled two different species into his description.
What's being sold as L. violaceopes (or sometimes L. violaceopedes)in the pet trade is a burrowing spider that looks somewhat similar to a shaggy H. lividum with slightly flattened tarsi.
There is also a large, blue Cyriopagopus species sometimes confused with L. violaceopes (it's arboreal).
