Cyriocosmus perezmilesi, because it was one of my favourite species at the time I got it. Recently I got a freebie L. parahybana. I never thought I would own one, but it's really grown on me and eats like a champ for a little sling, so I'm looking forward to that one getting bigger.

B. albiceps has a distinctive red abdomen. I'm going with Aphonopelma anax.

Brachypelma Kahlenbergi is a possibility.

I wonder why the diving tarantula has been observed submerged underwater for 3 hours? Is it a hiding tactic from predators? Does it eat fish?

Theraphosinae sp. Piura (Peru #3)

That's a nifty looking spider! I wonder what the legspan is? Thanks for the info. :happy:

Thanks Repugnant, this species is one of my favorite T's that I've owned. The behaviour/temperament is similar within this genus. ;) Also, I find both T. gigas and T. sp Colombia to be out in the open enough to appreciate them. :)

Tapinauchenius sp. Colombia

Thanks for the replies. ;)

Yep, considering nomen dubium means "doubtful name". :bookworm: But until or unless that list also officially gets changed, Avicularia stays, at least for now.

I noticed that Tarantula Canada is now labeling them Avicularia juruensis morphotype 'aurantica". Maybe if you send them a message they can give you more info?

Yep, looks like a molt is in the near future...I did mention my suspicions. Thanks for posting pics so I could see her new home! :) She's a sweetheart for sure. Thanks Venom1080. :happy:

I've been reading about them recently. They seem low maintenance to keep. Is it true they don't need a heat source or UV light?

Very true. The first spider escape I had was a David Bowie. I turned around for a moment when doing cage maintenance and it was gone before I knew it. It was always aware of the opening to the cage too, when I opened it. I think they're naturally inclined to try and break free. Like, "hey...

No, I got a decent deal regardless of where the species originates from. I can see why they said it was Australian, and I never thought to assume otherwise, because of the popular Queensland Whistling Spider, Selenocosmia crassipes from Australia. So, seeing as Selenocosmia dichromata was the...

Apparently New Guinea, which is close... When this species was sold to me, I was told it was an Australian species, probably because there are Selenocosmia native to Australia?

I had a Selenocosmia dichromata (I think it's name is now changed to Orphnaecus dichromatus), and I found it to be a vibrantly coloured Australian species. The bright reddish orange on the carapace really popped in comparison to the black body.
