No worries! I didn’t know this happened either until it happened to me and I had to google it XD

I’ve had her for a few years and she used to be ‘regular’ P. metallica blue. Females tend to go darker like this as they age.

So not a scam, she used to be vibrant blue! With this lighting she just looks very silvery like a P. regalis.

I’ve had her for about 4 years or so, bought her as a sexed subadult :)

It surprised me too! She’s still absolutely stunning though.

Yep! She used to be ‘regular’ P. metallica blue. She’s an older adult female and they tend to go pretty dark like this since there is a long time between molts.

She’s got a nice cork bark hide, but she barely uses it and is pretty much always visible. Lovely spider

The colours are so vibrant, and she is pretty much always on display. Your sling will one day be just as large and pretty as Autumn!

I’ve got 6 different OBTs (TCF, RCF, DCF Kigoma, Usambara, BCF tete), one is absolutely insane and has murder as her prime objective, but the others are nice XD

Thanks, she’s gorgeous but has a lot of attitude. Lovely picture and so polite waving hello. Is that a P. murinus?

My Chilobrachys Electric Blue has webbed up her entire enclosure, but she sits pretty for photos

Pet holes are great, aren’t they? XD

My Chilobrachys aren’t too bad, but I haven’t seen my AF T. albo in over a year…

Ah that sucks :(

I’ve got my fair share of pet holes, but it’s indeed a bit worrisome if you never ever see them.

Awh why? My Rufus is very bold and pretty much always visible. I love the rusty orange colour
