Is this P.Sabah Red or P.Rufus?

Is this P.Sabah Red or P.Rufus? ( Adult pic)
What are you pairing it with if you're not even sure what species it is?

Honestly, it looks more like P. sp. rufus than sabah red to me. Sabah red tend to have incomplete striping on the abdomen (the horizontal stripes don't connect all the way to the vertical stripe in the center) and the white banding on the legs is usually less prominent on the sabah reds. Good pics of adult female sabah red can be found here:



It is really difficult to tell them apart just by looking, though, so you need to be confident that you're getting them from a vendor you trust to have correct ID's.

I asked exactly the same question on his first pic lol , if you don't know what sp she is why has she got a male in there.
I assume if in the same genus they could cross breed.

Bro I bought both of them as P.Sabah red from the same shop, and in Sling and Juvie both of them look like each other 100% patterns of their abdomen, carapace and erc. So I thinks they are both same species but I just don’t sure that they are P.rufus or P sabah red

Thanks for your advice bro, Actually I smell fishy about 2 of them for a long time ,I don’t think they are P.sabah red because I do have P.rufus and they look like the same ,I just ask people here to confirm bro. About cross-breeding you don’t have to worry bro,If I know they are not same species I would not bred them at the first place. I do know the consequences of cross-breeding bro ,thanks for your concern guys.

For a future reference if breeding don't unless you are 100% sure of what you have , if you have any doubts over sp then they shouldn't be bred even if you think you have a female and male from the same sp if you aren't sure what that sp is you shouldn't breed them. No breeder worth their salt would do that.
Breeding is complicated enough without random mis-identified t's kicking about.
I don't even breed t's n I know that.
N FYI sis not a bro 😉

Thanks for your concerning but actually I quite sure bro I took a pics of them from sling to adult to check with my P.Rufus and even take a pics from Microscope to check their spermatheca to check if they are match or not,So Thanks for Advice guys but like I said don’t worry I’m not Villain here. By the way NMTs sorry to call you bro,I thought you are a man all the time🙏😂

Nmts is a bro it's me that's not 🤣🤣🤣 nm you'll get there one day 😂

If you have confirmation then why ask?

@NMTs can you vouch for this dude? asking for id with a male in the pic then saying he has confirmed with moults so he knows already ...all smells like bate to me 🤷🏻‍♀️ but I trust your judgement.

even I have seen it with my eyes but since I don’t have much experience like you guys ,why I should not ask? in case my P.rufus is not P.rufus like this P.sabah red is it better to check with you guys here? And what a reason for cross-breeder to post their pic on this group bruh🥱😮💨 just want to ask for help to identify the species though.I dc that you gonna believe me or not, I just don’t want NMTs to misunderstanding me since I always ask for his advice😑
