SeanSYW's T Photo Thread

Thanks, they just get better looking with every molt. Can't wait till the rest of my slings get big enough for guests to stop thinking they're house spiders

The other was sold as an E. pulcherrimaklaasi; not sure if it is that species or maybe a Homoeomma sp. "blue"
The female:

Certainly E. pulcherrimaklaasi or E. sp. "bue femur" as they're called lately often. Homoeomma sp. "blue" has a steely-blue overall color, not only the femurs. Check my picthread to get a look at mine.

Thanks, I wasn't too sure in the beginning; I'll be sure to check your pics out. They're both pretty neat species.

You got lucky. Both species are often sold as the other because people are unaware. I had to search nearly 1.5 years for my 4.5" female pulcherimaklaasi!

Summer is sort of like my time for true spiders so its been awhile since my last post.


Female L. violaceopes exuvium no new pictures of the actual T cause it's way to "uncooperative:"





Juvenile P. subfusca after a recent molt:





Female P. murinus molted 2 days before:

Sean, please can you post some more pictures of that MM E. pulcherrimaklaasi? I'm getting the distinct feeling it's a truculentus MM actually...just like to see the T some more if possible?

This male is from the same LPS as my female, but it looks like you are right about that, the photos online do resemble the MM, too bad I was hoping to breed the pulcherrimaklaasi. I wasn't be able to find any pictures of the true MM E. pulcherrimaklaasi, do you happen to happen to have any, maybe for future references (I'm guessing they'll resemble the female a lot more) ? Don't worry I'll be posting more pics soon. Thanks for the heads up on the potential breeding disaster.

Here's the thing: I've been getting messages on my YT acc from some, to me unknown person from Chile, swearing that what is known as E. pulcherrimaklaasi (the one by SCHMIDT) is actually E. truculentus. Due to the fact that I don't relable any T's without seing anything official (science paper backing it up - WSC showing the change - the like..) I am extremely careful with this particular T really.

As for pictures of a MM...try this link=>

It's a vid from Levi from AB here pairing his female. The MM certainly has the red flames on the patella and the greenish carapace from what I can see there, the blackish femurs shine blueish I'm pretty sure under the right light, too.

Thanks again,
The ending of that vid kind of left me on edge. While doing some research I found a flickr account about Chilean tarantulas that also shows E. pulcherrimaklaasi as truculentus blue colour form, possibly from the same person on YouTube. I definitely won't be breeding them just to prevent the possibility of hybridization.

What is now labeled as 1.0.0 E. truculentus








0.1.0 E. pulcherrimaklaasi

True beauties. Thanks for sharing!

True beauties. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks, I have to say the truculentus is quite the looker, despite it being a bit disappointing that I won't be able to breed the pulcherrimaklaasi.

Here's some more:
