Wow I didn't know there where that many kinds of tarantulas in nature I just assumed there where a few varieties and the pet triad expanded on that.
It is very common and usually desirable in the Leopard geckoes to have designer breed lizards that look very different from natural ones. We even have a Giant albino designer patterned female still from when my wife bread them.

I saw a picture of a tarantula that had Dark Blueish hare on its legs and was quite intrigued by it. Now thinking about that being natural makes it even more intriguing. Just out of curiosity what size terrarium do you keep them in
( If thats the right term for there enclosure ) do you breed them or just keep them as pets.
