Lasiodorides polycuspulatus-Peruvian Giant Blond .75″

The Lasiodorides genus is another odd one, as it only has two species, the other species L. striatus was categorized as Pamphobeteus wallacei when it was first imported in the 90s. L. polycuspulatus is as the name suggests a beautiful blonde color on the legs from the patella down, dark femurs, a golden carapace with purplish highlights and a reddish abdomen. They can also approach 7″ in the legspan department, and are quite robust. They aren’t typically defensive, and their care requirements are simple: 72-84 with 70% humidity.
