I never thought I'd say this : I agree with DavidRS...In my experience, all tarantulas on craigslist are Rosehairs unless proven otherwise.

I tried using Craigslist yesterday. I put up an ad trying to sell my photography and less than 3 hours later, I got an email telling me that my ad was flagged for removal and would be deleted. :? I just don't get it. Other people had posted their websites and yet it wouldn't let me post mine.Craigs list is always hit or miss, I have both bought and sold items there. I have found that if you don't get a response in a day, two at most its usually not going to happen.Usually if people don't list a phone number I don't bother.
funny, but people are even selling themselves on here.. And they flagged your lovely photos. I haven't found anything on craigslist that looked like would be a fair or safe deal. Just seems like a shady little nickel to me, and I probably will never use it. Good for laughs though, especially some of the stuff that is "free". LOL free broken cement, cellphone antenna (unindentified), and one that was especially funny, "if you come and haul away this FREE dirt, you will get a FREE 10$ STARBUCKS GIFT CARD!"I tried using Craigslist yesterday.

Paul, you're absolutely right, it is a G. aureostriata - I can't believe I didn't notice the different patterns on the legs :8o It looks like its ready to moult, that might be why its currently lacking the distinctive mirror patch :? Poor thing, it sure is pretty though.The seller in this ad.. http://newyork.craigslist.org/lgi/pet/445506290.html .. has a mature male G.aureostriata not A.seemanni. If anyone is local with that person and have a female, they should try getting in contact with him, let him know what's going on and see if he'll give it to you for free or atleast lower the price for breeding.

uhhhhh ok..
I don't think that is an A. seemani at all, let alone blue phase. It's a mature male and mature male A. seemani don't look like that.
I just replied to the seller telling him that his tarantula is a mature male, he should find out what species he is and find it a female quickly.

Aww, that's friggin' lame. Where'd you post it under? Depending on where it is, people can consider it miscategorized. The right spot would be in Community- artists.I tried using Craigslist yesterday.

Well A.seemanni mature males, don't exactly look like that. The markings on the legs are too yellow for A.seemanni, and just perfect for G.aureostriata. The measuring is a little off because it doesn't start from the tip of leg 1, so if it were to actually be measured from there it looks like it can be a 5.5" legspan, possibly even 6"(which is about the average size for MM G.aureostriata).Yowza
Ok, how big are mature male G.aureostriata? Aren't they considered one of the larger T species? There's a pic of it next to measuring tape, is that how big they get?
What indicates that it is male, what am I looking for in the pics?
What indicates that it is not what the seller says it is? I just googled A.seemanni pics and they look so similar. The pictures have a cool tone, it makes it hard for me to see that it is G.aureostriata, which are brown colored. What are the indicators that I'm missing? (I have a G.aureostriata, so I see the similarities in leg stripes)
Just tryin' to learn
