Ok, man. No need to get your panties in a bunch. Just a simple mistake. I suggest kindly disagreeing with people when you do, which, honestly, will make people respect you. Just some advice. No offense. I think the others would agree with me.
Have a great day, man! Oh, and your spiders are very pretty in your pics!
Oh, ok! Thx dude! You may be right! I will have to wait until she molts next to decide. I will show you her molt and pics after she does so that you can help me identify. I don't really know that much yet. Thanks!
I was merely trying to clear things up. If you spent any time on these boards you would realize that I am neither nasty or disrespectful...in fact I am one of the more helpful and friendly people on these boards. There was zero attitude intended and I'm sorry you read it that way.Ok, man. No need to get your panties in a bunch. Just a simple mistake.

Oh, and, respectfully, I don't think I will take my disagree off. I disagree with your attitude, bro, not your post.
I would pm a proper apology to cold blood if I were you. It's a bad idea to make enemies with some of the most helpful people on arachnoboards.Oh, ok! Thx dude! You may be right!

P.S. Why are some people so nasty on here? It's kind of sad. Thanks for being helpful!
I am sorry, cold blood. It is difficult to determine the meaning of words from plain text, but it was immature of me to jump to conclusions. Truce, friend. I will remove my disagree.
And people say I'm the sassy one.
Totally, and though I haven't seen every single Avicularia/Caribena/Ybyrapora sling, I do believe that the "unique" looking slings were removed from Avicularia and put into Caribena/Ybyrapora genera. C. versicolor, C. laeta, Y. diversipes, and Y. sooretama don't have any of the typical Avicularia baby looks.
The problem is that there is no 'polite disagree' option available. Disagrees directly reflect a person's standing on the board. If they have a high number of disagrees then likely the information they spout is nonsense and to be avoided. I use my disagree button as a warning to others. If a user consistently posts bad information, I make it a point to disagree with as much bad information posts they make as possible so people can look at their ratings and know to take what they say with a grain of salt. There are some things I disagree with, but the user isn't a lost cause so I don't use disagree with them.Ok, man. No need to get your panties in a bunch. Just a simple mistake.

You are right. You can read my apology to cold blood below.And people say I'm the sassy one.

Not sure if there is another Avicularia sling that looks like A. purpurea though. They are black and white as slings.

Cold blood knows "his stuff," and is also a highly rated breeder so...pick your bridges to burn carefully before you isolate yourself from someone who's help you might need one day, or who's livestock you might want to purchase. I certainly don't help and wouldn't sell to someone who came off as condescending in a response to me as you did in your response to him.
I don't know who "the others" are that you're speaking of, but I notice none of them have flocked to hit the agree button.
Good point. You can read my apology to cold blood below. I don't want to be a troll.
Well, this got me digging for some answers to maybe figure out what exactly I have, if not an A. metallica, and I just noticed that the March 2017 revision claimed that A. metallica should no longer exist, so now I’m even more confused. Still, I’m doubting if what I have is an sp. Purple. The first photo I posted makes her look more purple/red than she really is. This picture is a bit more accurate (or as accurate as a photo of an Avic can be
)
You and I are in the same boat, dude. Scientific classification is crazy complicated.Well, this got me digging for some answers to maybe figure out what exactly I have, if not an A. metallica, and I just noticed that the March 2017 revision claimed that A. metallica should no longer exist, so now I’m even more confused.

Either way, she’s one of my favorites.
It’s not always quite so messy, but Avics are a complete cluster.....fudge.You and I are in the same boat, dude. Scientific classification is crazy complicated.
This is true. They clearly look different than A. avic, but the jury is still out for now on many morphotypes. Someday someone needs to combine DNA info with cladistics, that's when we will know for sure.
