Why don't you think it's Chilobrachys sp. Kontum
I’ve never heard of it outside of where I bought it and when I look it up online I get little to no information outside of what I posted. A few list the kontum as the vietnam blue but that is already called the dyscolus, and this is most definitely not a one of those. So I wanted to see if it could be identified
She has distinguishing features such as the pattern on her carapace that I made sure to add a closeup of.
Where did you hear/read that? I can’t find any info on the kontum, and she’s definitely not a regular dyscolus
Was once thought to be a hybrid of the Dyscolus, but that has since been disproven. The reason it is Sp. Kontum is, that is the locality where it was collected. These are also called Vietnam blue, another reason not to use the common names. If you bought it as Chilobrachys Sp Kontum I don't see where you would think it is something different.
I already explained why I thought it was different. Because I couldn’t find info on it and I was really only getting hits for vietnam blue and dyscolus. I didn’t know they shared a common name or that it was thought to be a hybrid, but I did know the kontum is the locality. I just knew I didn’t have a dyscolus and was struggling to find any info on the kontum so I wanted to see what others thought.
Yes they do get a blue colour to them. That's why they used to be thought of as a hybrid of Dyscolus.
Not sure why your comment was linked 3 times to my last one sorry
Yes but where did you read it was a hybrid? I’m not doubting you I just never came across that myself so I’d love a link or something
When the Chilobrachys Genus get a revision they will be names something other than there locality or may even end up a Morphotype like the avic genus
Years ago when they entered the hobby people though they were a hybrid of Dyscolus, there are a few chats about it over on AB
she's absolutely beautiful as well!
Don't know what happed with my chat. I meant to say: It might be Chilobrachys sp Kaeng Krahcen on the browner side
Nah definitely not bud, that's not how localities work, it definitely won't be another Sp. Locality it could however be something like a Dyscolus, and mislabeled, but it's definitely not a Dyscolus. The T is a Chilobrachys Sp. Kontum, there is no reason to think it's anything else, absolutely nothing suggests it so I don't even know where this conversation is going at this point.
