Yesterday I picked up 2 new T's. My problem is the place I got them from lables them by their common name. I know that one is a P. irminia its the other one that I am confused about the container says Mexican Red Leg but on the way out I asked one of the employees what the scientific name was for the T they were selling in the back with out showing him the one I had (they didn't have any other Brachypelma sp. for sale besides the one I purchased) and he said B.smithi. I am a little confused becuase I thought B. emilia was the Red Leg. Its only about 1" so its hard to take a picture of it. Any way to tell the 2 apart at this size? Its not a big deal which one I have but I want to know so I can get the other one as well.
