Someone can id this Avic?

3"

Thanks.

 

[Randolph XX()]

A.aurauntica?

 

[Bearo]

not A. juruensis as far as I know... I think they have yellow bandings around the joints...

its an adult male right?

 

[versimomma]

u need to read the papers that describe them. Unfortunatley there arent many 'true' avics in the hobby due to inbreeding and mis iding. I am nt familiar with that species of avic so i cannot say but cool little T u got.

Hi,
Any chance if a dorsal picture and also is it a mature male?

 

[Nhamo]

It's male, here is the new pics!

I want to know if it is an Avic juruensis, if it's not can you tell what spp it is?

 

[Aviculariinae]

Hi Nhamo,
To be honest im not sure what spp it is, would you have a picture of it before it matured into a male.
My GUESS would be that it is what is going around the PET TRADE as aurantiaca/juruensis but not the real aurantiaca/juruensis.But it is probably a colour variant of Avicularia Urticans.

[Cirith Ungol]

Hehe nice! Had one of my purpureas do the same thing. Really adorable creatures!

 

[Nick_schembri]

Cool vid. You must enjoy feeding it.

hahahahaha @ the owned at the end....savage.

hi solaceofwinter
lol should have seen my facial expresion when i actually realized that i got this on film lol, setup is quite simple, just a piece of cork bark in the corner of the tank. The T did most of the job creating a silk palace

hi Cirith Ungol
Purpurea u say? Id love to get me one of those...I'm very much in love with genus Avicularia! Wonder if there are any aggressive Avics?!

indeed Nick_schembri,
I find it very exciting that i can offer him food in such a way. Its by far the prefered method over simply releasing some crix in his tank. Arboreals just ROCK man!

LOL GootySapphire
As you can see, i could not resist...its just the way he snatchs the cricket off my tweezers, it was absolutely owned! lol

Well thank you guys for stoppin by I'm glad u all enjoyed the vid as much as i enjoyed makin it
Have a good one u lovely folks.

I've heard that the largest avics can get a bit grumpy, but I know no specifics, I don't even know their names. Was a long time I read about them...
