Actually, this species was bred once before in the states, but it was sold as Metriopelma sp. "blue femur". It's the same spider.

Here's a larger female Cyclosternum sp. "Machalla".
She's 2 instars ahead of the female pictured above with the eggsac who is still quite small.

This is an incredibly beautiful spider, but VERY difficult to photograph. I struggle with getting the lighting right to do it justice.

Under flash:

In sunlight:

Sometimes 2-3 times as much

And the more expensive one's were bred here in the states. The less expensive one's were imported from Europe !

MODERATOR'S NOTE:
I'm going to leave the Cyclosternum sp. "Machalla" photos in this thread for now. However, it appears that this species does not belong in the genus Cyclosternum. See the note at the bottom of THIS PAGE on Kaderka's website which references personal communication with Pérez-Miles.
