Just wondering if this is normal. I have had an A. versicolor sling (2cm-ish) for about a month, when I got it, it was metalic blue like I have seen in many pictures. It shed about 4 days after recieving it and was then grey with brown hairs(not many though) now its she again, seems to have less hairs and is still grey and brown. Haven't seen any pictures of a versi looking like this anywhere. Am I doing something wrong or do they all go this colour?

Mines about 4 cm and is blue with a little orange started to show on his abdomen.
You sure its a versi? Any chance of a piccy?

With versicolours people always mention the two stages, metallic blue spiderling and adult colours. However during late spiderling and juvenile stage mine also went through a coal-grey phase with abdominal markings similar to Avic minatrix in red and dark grey. From here he matured into adult colours after a while. Hope this helps.sigpicHate is for people who find thinking a little too complicated!

Sorry can't get a pic its webbed the whole container up and I dont want to destroy its home just for some pics lol.It may also be bigger than 2cm(thats how big it was before it shed) I think its now about 3cm not sure though, its hard to see. I'm glad to hear someone elses went the same colour though. thought I was doing something wrong.ThanksComment

Here's my lil versi in between juvi and adult colors. He has a pattern similar to minatrix on his abdomen, dull dark red dusty legs, and a slate colored carcapace.
