Well, after perusing Google for Cyclosternum schmardae images, I came across this awesome little tarantula:


Cycriosmus ritae :thumbsup: .
P. mettalica, move over. This is, in my opinion, much better looking than P. mettalica. Don't get me wrong, P. mettalica is still a nice looking spider, just a little overrated in my opinion. Much prefer green, yellow, red and black and white spiders any day.

Now we just need someone to "accidentally" recieve them in a shipment from the UK :whistle:
Any thoughts? To me they look a little like Pokies. I actually thought the bottom one was actually a P. subfusca at first

I't a pitty it's such a small T.. Am I right that these guys reach about a 3cm legspan?

I could be mistaken but I think all Cyriocosmus sp are "dwarf" species never reaching above 4cm leg span.

But as I say I am not 100% certain if this is the case with all of them.

Now Iridopelma seladonium, that's another story... arboreal, very colourful and grow to around 12cm leg span. Check that out F1refly if you haven't already.

Hendrik has bred every other Cycriosmus species, so maybe he has these too?

We all have our favourites. As I said before, I like P. mettalica as much as the next guy but don't see what the big deal is. The GBB is much better looking in my opinion but to each his own. I was actually going to suggest that hendrijs is probably going to breed these as well, looks like you beat me to it.
