Chilobrachys sp. electric blue

[Gizalba]

Hi, I can't get over how pretty the blue is

I wondered if this species show sexual dimorphism with their colouring at all? Mystica has left all his/her moults in the hide so I can't sex them. I was wondering if how bright the blue is has any relevance, i.e. if the females are brighter? I did see a video of a male looking duller but maybe it was just not as freshly moulted.

The only sexual diamorphism is when the male matures they are a very dull drab colour in comparison to the females
Makes also mature pretty small -
How big is mystica at the moment?

Thanks for the info! I think Mystica is about 5-6cm legspan currently. He/she seems to be one of my fastest growers.

Do you mean the spider has to be an adult, or I have to be an adult?
