New to the Boards, had a search for correct furom to post but no luck.
I have recently purchased an Australian Tarantula, It is only a sling and was listed as a selenothous. Any help on further identifying would be appreciated. Understand not easy as still only young.
@RezonantVoid - any ideas? I imagine identifying Aussie slings is about as impossible as identifying new world terrestrial slings, but maybe not...
 
Thought as much.
Cheers for taking the time anyway,
Was wanting to get a selenocosmia carrispe but the misso thought she would surprise me with getting it for me but only knew it was labelled as selenotholus an was from a mainstream petshop here in aus.
 
I might be missing something here but this one honestly strikes me more as a Phlogius or Coremiocnemis sling instead of a Selenotholus. The latter at least IME don't have such long hairs on the abdomen at this size and aren't as leggy
