question:
i got a (purported) a. avicularia at a recent exotic animal show for $8. unfortunately, the dude that was helping me didnt know the latin name, but it was obvious to me that it was a pinktoe so i got it anyways. well, today i took her out and she's so cute and jumpy--she almost prances around! then i noticed that she has some green coloration on her carapace and some reddish hairs on her rump. is this typical for an a. avicularia or could i have possibly been sold another species? i thought that the a. avics were mostly just fuzzy black... i dont have any pics, but if that would help, i could try to get some.
