Message: <blockquote data-quote="MassExodus" data-source="post: 68786" data-attributes="member: 4086"><p>One of my recent obsessions is the Phormictopus genus, after buying a few atrichomatus slings I started looking hard at the different sp, and there are some stunners..the cautus, (spelling?) is purple, really beautiful, the sp green is the champ in my book though, I've never seen a black tarantula with hints of dark mettalic green on the carapace and front four femurs. Really great looking, and as another member said in a recent thread, they're like Pamphos, MM are stunning, genus wide. So I ordered 3 from petcenter, and got a campbridgei freebie( that will make 3 campbridgei freebies, I couldn't be happier about that) they should be shipped Monday, but if they are like the atrichomatus I bought, I may not get pics for awhile. I know there are at least a few Phormictopus lovers on this forum, so any comments on the species, genus, your experience with or opinions on Phormictopus would be appreciated.</p></blockquote><p></p>
