Just enjoy its beauty. It's worthless trying to ID an Avic from a pic, esp that pic. If yo don't know what it is, DO NOT be irresponsible and breed it.
Thanks for the input. Yea, horrible pic, sorry guys. I'll try to get a better lit one. It has orangy chevrons on the abdomen you can barely see in the picture (darker and more triangle than the pattern on a minatrix). I found her at a petco where they actually had it in an acceptable enclosure and the manager actually new some stuff and was teaching one of the employees how to handle/box it up, even mentioned the possibility of a lethal fall. Anyway, I'm really stoked to have found it for $20 when I was just looking for an ammonia test kit.
P.S I would never be so irresponsible as to try and breed it not knowing the origin especially with such subtle differences in sp.
@SDahmer Coming from Petco it's most likely a wild caught juvenile Avicularia avicularia. Unless it was in one of those Tarantula Hut containers that they recently started selling, then it may be captive bred, but the species is usually marked on the container.
P.S. Most Sling/Juvies Avic species have that look. The abdominal color pattern will be lost in a molt or two...
@CEC Thanks. I figured it's probably wc, not my first wc avic though. They had those little guys next to it, appear to be gold knees for the most part, the avic was in the display next to those unlabeled. I was thinking that might be the case with the pattern, based on color/pattern changes in other sp.
Like CEC said, most Avics generally look like this. Also, pic is too dark. Even it was brightly lit, we'd tell you the same thing. I have 3 different species that fit the above look.
