Message: <blockquote data-quote="Josh's Frogs" data-source="post: 239924" data-attributes="member: 49228">Cuban Bronze Tarantula (Phormictopus auratus) This is one well named tarantula! When it is still young, like this individual, they have a greenish bronze carapace. Their legs and abdomen are dark, with long, reddish gold hairs interspersed. This gives them a shaggy look. By the time females are full size, their abdomens are black. The base color of their legs is black. Their carapace and those long, shaggy hairs become brilliant golden. When this girl grows into her full, potentially eight inch size, she is going to be quite a breathtaking tarantula![ATTACH=full]76663[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
