Is Brachypelma Kahlenbergi the same as Brachypelma verdezi

[Jmanbeing93]

I was wondering if B.Verdezi and B.Kahlenbergi were the same species with the former being the old name and the latter being the current name. I can't hardly find any information on Brachypelma Kahlenbergi, it is the strangest thing.

The world Spider Catalog lists them both as accepted species and doesn't indicate they are synonyms of each other.

Tarantupedia also list them as diff species.

@sdsnybny .

Would you by any chance have some pictures of adult Brachypelma Kahlenbergi? If not, I will Google it.

Is their setup the same as any other members of Brachypelma?

Two seperate species. From different localities.

Nope, one of the Brachy's I haven't owned.

@Jmanbeing93 they are different species but their set ups should be the same as they both come from arid semi - desert areas.
I own one of each my verdezi is an mature male that I've raised from a sling whereas my kahlenbergi is a 1.5" sling that's not quite showing full adult colours yet.

They're really easy to tell apart as verdezi have a gold/copper carapace, black legs and the same orange setae as hobby B albo.
B kahlenbergi have generally got a sort of light beige carapace , brown legs and deep red setae hairs. Ime kahlenbergi can look sort of blueish under certain light.
