thankyou. i paid way more than that including postage. im really angry now, but at same time that pic of the black goliath on this thread and what december-spawn says (as he has one) makes me think otherwise. He said his sling looked more like a daddylong legs growing up and is nice and bulky now. I thought it would probably grow chunkier maybe as it is only a juvi.

There you go...

homoeomma sp blue large

Homoeomma sp. "Blue" - Arachnoboards

Homoemma spp. Ecuadorian Blue Femur - Arachnoboards

and

Fred the T.cyaneum - Arachnoboards

Thrixopelma cyaneolum (NOT T. cyaneum) - Arachnoboards

Also look at the sub topics at the bottom of the arachnoboards site. Plus do a Google 'Image' search for both T's.

izan

P.S. If you really think its still a Goliath. You may want to do a search for 'BLUE GOLIATH' (as your new T is blue.) Should you find the beast exists, then i'll give you £1,000 for yours and i'll collect it.

I dont recon Chris would of done it on purpose hes not a spider person, so if it came in a big shipment which it did and it was labelled as a goliath he would of just thought thats what it was.

My Goliath is defo brown, and does have slight markings on his knees. I didn't get close to the juve in the shop at all, but it looked like a nice spider

I agree that Chris is a top bloke, and he prob knows more about this than I do.

yeah, i dunno what to do. i dont wanna send it back cos i do like it, i dont wanna out it through all that stress again and its settled in now and happy.
He said he knows the person that breeds him, so hes 100% sure it is one, and so basicly saying that he knows what they look like etc.
I still want a goliath, but im not paying out anymore money or getting rid of this one. so ill just have to wait i guess.

I really dunno what to say. My goliath looked like a spindly little thing for months. I guess look at the difference the Green bottles make between sling and adult.

If Chris says it's a Goliath, then he must be pretty damn sure it is, one way or another. He's not really the kinda guy to mess about.

i will see what it is, as it looks exactly like the first link Izan sent me. its too similar not to be that. of course it doesnt look blue like that unless the cams on it.
Im sure Chris is a nice person, but I still got to go through my options here. I dont see many and certainly none that include keeping this one and getting money back. But one things for certain...this little beauty whatever it is is staying right here with me
