Just ordered an ogre face and Chilobrachys sp Thailand from so many legs and they should arrive by Thursday so I'll share some pics. I'm presuming the Chilobrachys is an unknown species as I can't find any information on a sp Thailand or it's looks, so this'll be an interesting surprise. Have you guys heard of this species?

That's just a placeholder name for a sample collected from Thailand. It's probably just a colour morph of C. huahini. This sort of thing happens a lot in the hobby like there was a Aphonopelma sp. Flagstaff Orange that is now just a A. chalcodes colour morph.

I see.. well I have a female huahini so I can compare the two. Thanks for the info :D

There's so many in the chilobrachys genus It will be interesting to see your pics of what she looks like :) we have quite a few but still many more needed to add to the collection :)
Definitely my favorite genus, they aren't the most beautiful of Ts but I love their look. I am definitely looking to collect as many species as possible. :)

They are great Ts... Often over looked but what's not to love? :)

Congrats on the new arrivals :) that chilobrachys looks lovely... How does it compare in looks to your AF huahini?
Similar colours but the Thailand has more redish on the legs which I love, I'll try catch a picture of my huahini to do a side by side but she's a complete recluse lol. The dark spots on T's indicates older age? This female is pretty big so I'm assuming she's an older girl.

Do you know if she's wild caught or captive bred? She sure is beautiful.. I'd say it looks like an older female.. It will probably become a recluse just like your huahini :) I find our Cambodia blue AF goes through phases of hiding then being out in the open for a while xx

I believe she is captive bred, I'll ask the seller. Yeah I'm expecting her to completely disappear, all of my chilobrachys do so accept the krachan. You're lucky you get to see yours every now and then, virginiacheesman has an AF Cambodian blue and I am very tempted, beautiful spider :)
