Poeilotheria subfusca 3rd instar spiderling

To me it looks like a South African Dwarf Baboon species called Harpactirella lightfooti. Also appears to be a mature male. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Seriously, come on guys. I'd like to comment on this discussion, in no way is it a P.rufilata, the carapace markings are nothing like it. Poecilotheria ornata - Final Answer

I second that, definitely not an A. purpurea

Definitely a Haplopelma, options: hainanum vonworthi schmidti minax

Codykrr hit the nail on the head, I had the same experience w/ A. avicularia, which is a good species for communal, if there is a loss or two, it wont break the bank.

Nice pics Fran!

More Dwarf Tarantulas Please add Harpactira & Harpactirella, both Dwarf Baboon species from South Africa. Harpactira sp. robertson Harpactirella lightfooti there are more too............

Simply put, yes, water is necessary for most living organisms. Water + Heat = Life, some organisms require Light as well.

Not sure exactly what species of Haplo or others this exactly is, I have an idea but a species specialist confirmation would be appreciated.

In my opinion, and want to make clear it is only an opinion/guess, I would say female based upon folio distortion, but would never call it a female without confirmation via molt/microscope.

Adult female, known man eater.

A captive bred P. metallica female, 4"+, molted 10/08/10, in the corner of an acrylic photo cage.

Cant be 100%, but, based upon body geometry and folio strip, I'd say female. 95% Sure.

Adult female Avicularia pupurea, approx. 4.5in.

Would also agree, Avicularia metallica, maybe female, maybe.

Unknown female 4.5", believed Haplopelma species, any help would be appreciated.
