Could someone help ID my new Spider, it was identified as a Brazilian blue but I have my doubts
Psalmopoeus irminia
I agree it's a Psalmopoeus, but why can't it be other Psalmopoeus species? Are there any specific traits that tell you it's a irminia? Just trying to learn here. :)

@blueberry123 The care for a Psalmopoeus is very different from P sazimais, so DO RESEARCH on the proper care of them on AB!!!

All Psalmopoeus slings look a bit different (However i dont know about the other, a bit more uncommom psalmos) enough that you could mostly tell right away.

Irminia have the tiger stripe on their abdomen and orange metatarsi. I guees some other psalmos have orange colors in that area but they spread to other leg segments as well, and not just metatarsus.

Ive never kept psalmos myself so i could be wrong on some things, but im fairly confident its an irminia, unless some other, more uncommon psalmo also looks like this that i know nothing of.

Gotcha. Thanks a lot.
 
Brazilian Blue would be a P. sazmai, and that is NOT one of those. I concur with others here, P. irminia
 
P. irminia is pretty consistent looking, even at the size. Definitely what that looks like. Enjoy, they are one my favorites
