Avicularia juruensis M2
Purple Pink Toe (2cm)

https://thespidershop.co.uk/product/avicularia-juruensis-m2/

A rather unique and beautiful large-sized Avicularia species. They are a deep iridescent purple with long bright pink tufts of hair on the abdomen, which is enough to sell it to me!

Harpactira pulchripes
Golden Blue Leg (6-8cm) (Females)

https://thespidershop.co.uk/product/harpactira-pulchripes/

One of, if not the most, stunning of African tarantulas in the hobby at the moment. A patterned carapace, bright blue legs with orange femurs and you’re still only halfway there.

These are every popular with keepers looking to take their first steps into Old Worlds as well as seasoned collectors alike,

Care wise is as per most other African species, will appreciate room to burrow.

Phormingochilus carpenteri
Sulawesi Black (1-2cm)

https://thespidershop.co.uk/product/phormingochilus-carpenteri-1645529846/

Should rather be called “Sulawesi Grey Velvet” as it has a vibrant grey velvety appearance when freshly molted. It is a very large growing Asian arboreal, not seen so often these days...

Melopoeus lividus
Cobalt Blue (1-2cm)

https://thespidershop.co.uk/product/cyriopagopoeus-lividum-1645531515/

Lovely looking spider with a foul temper, the latin Lividus means to be of a blueish colour, rather than an angry bas*ard but sometimes the name just fits!

Aphonopelma bicoloratum
Mexican Bloodleg (0.5cm)

https://thespidershop.co.uk/product/aphonopelma-bicoloratum-1645530874/

An incredibly docile and slow moving species, and also a semi-dwarf as well (typically reach hentzi-ish size rather than chalcodes), are one of the more beautiful species of Aphonopelma for sure.. .
