When did that happen? I have almost 300 tarantulas and am on arachnoboards every day and have never heard of this. Can you tell me where you found this information? I need to pass it on.
My understanding was alway that G. rosea has at least 2 color phases, the normal and the red.
Can you help direct me to your information source? I'm dying of curiosity!!!!!!
