I think it goes like that?

Is this true ???

Not too sure about that

im going to have to side with curt on this one i bought a MF about a year ago and a client
come over and had a look at her and she said the darker form is the harder one to find
and i dont think she could be rong as she studys zoology. so i belive there are a dark and light form in the lividum

and i know of a nice batch that was ment to hit the market not that long ago about the lividum
i have a MM and his more brown and gold then blue as a matter of fact i cant remember there being any
blue on him and another guy some where here on the forum has a MM with more PINK then anything so i would have to go with my man curt on this

Mature male lividum's are not blue at all after their ultimate moult.
Just because someone studies zoology doesn't mean they know anything about tarantula identification. In fact, they probably know less than most people on here I would think, unless they are in the hobby.

well she has been in the hobbie a wile so im sure she knows what shes talking about
if im not mistaken there is a MM after his ultimate molt with alot of blue just scroll up maybe you missed it
and from my experience there is a light form and a dark form they the same spec just like the cambridgei green form and brownish form so i belive there is and always will be a dark and light form
