Can anyone help me to ID this male ornamental

[barra]

Hi everyone, i got id problem on this male ornmental.
i got this ornmental as Poecilotheria fasciata
but i suspect its Poecilotheria regalis
i have a female p.faciata which i want to breed with this male but i am afraid that i will cross breed the ornmental.
Please help :8o

Well, due to the "belly band", you can most definitely count out P. fasciata. I'm not a taxonomist, but I'd put my $$$ on P. regalis.

ID pokie males is hard, but he has the regalis band on pic#2 so I would say regalis

I'd have to say regalis as well. Looks almost identical to my mature male.

Thanks for all the reply but can anyone comfirm the id?
i dont want to end up crossbreeding!!!!
very confused right now

Yeah, do *not* breed it with your female P. fasciata. It's better to not breed at all than produce a potential hybrid. So as not to start a flame war, this is just my personal opinion.

Good luck in whatever you decide!

Here check this out maybe it will be of some help as well http://www.arachnoboards.com/ab/showthread.php?t=21640&highlight=Poecilotheria Its a link to Poecilotheria Carspace ID.

Could not get a good look on the legs, but the abdominal banding say regalis
and the carapace say regalis so I say regalis.

I don't wish to offend you in any way, but that's a pretty funny way of misspelling 'carapace'

Thanks for the help, nice of you
since all of you said its a regalis, i will treat it as regalis
if there is anyone who can prove me wrong please let me know
its really very important.

You could try to compare it with this male regalis
Of course this is after he met the female!!!!

Theres not much left of him, but I can see he died with a smile.

 

[Dekejis]

That would be a regalis. I dunno if this helps much, but here's a quick pic I took of my male, since his underside was mostly visible. The pink band on the underside is a dead giveaway.

Yep, I can tell you right now that it's P. regalis by the "belly band" as well as the ventral leg patterns.
Find somebody with a female regalis!! Heck, I cant imagine it being very hard to find someone with a male fasciata either....I have more than I know what to do with, LOL
