I'll second that! How is her/his temperament (I tend to go for the more docile T)? My local dealer has one at a very reasonable price and it would by my first 'blue' T.

Thrixopelma cyaneum used to be called Hommeoma.sp “ Peru ” or sometimes Hommeoma.sp “Small Blue” or even Cyclosternum.sp “Cobalt Blue Redrump”.

The spider which is sold as E.pulcherrimaklaasi nowdays is normally Hommeoma.sp “Blue” which is a larger spider then T.cyaneum also the real E.pulcherrimaklaasi maybe almost lost in the hobby now there may only be a few older W/C females still around :(.

Thanks for the lovely pics, hasek.. Was having a hard time finding this sp on google image.

How rare are any of these species in the US? They are quite stunning
