[QUOTE="Phil, post: 147924, member: 4151"] I don't think there was any other contribution to why porterii rather than rosea. The difference is subtle but essentially the porterii appear to be more slightly greyer in hair colour and will also usually have a rose metallic coloured carapace (like yours). The rosea tend to have more red coloured hairs and a red/brown carapace. Although both species do go through those range of colours as they mature and moult and so it's only at adult stage you really notice. Not the best of pics but here is side by side of porterii (LHS) and rosea (RHS). Like I say. not the best pic and the differences are subtle!!!! LOL. Whatever you have, it is gorgeous. Congrats.
