No matter what I did he just looked black when I tried to take pics...I need one of those photography boxes:)

Austin...it was ulrichea prior to the recent revision.
 
@Austin S. The hobby juruensis are Avicularia rufa... The rufa MMs are all black with vivid yellow bands.

Note from revision:
"Many years the For name A. juruensis has been applied to specimens that have vivid yellow leg rings and grizzled setae on legs and palps, that are commonly found in the states of Mato Grosso and Rondônia, Brazil. Have spermathecae with the midwidth not expanded, developed prominence on palpal bulb and leg IV longer than leg I. However, A. juruenesis syntypes have whitish leg rings and lack setae with conspicuous whitish apex on legs, spermathecae with midwidth expanded, palpal bulb with well prominence -developed, and leg IV as long as leg I. The characters found in these specimens formerly known as A. juruensis match, in fact, with those of A. rufa . Thus, we conclude the name A. juruensis is being mistakenly applied to specimens of A. rufa."
