A question about grammostola.

[~Androctonus~]

I'm going to get T' that called by the man i'm getting it from him Grammostola sp. red.
I know that Grammostola rosea is "chilian rose tarantula".
the T' i'm giong to get is NOT look aloke regular G.rosea, and it's a little bit more expensive.
Is the red only an another color form, or it's really another sp. ?
if it's another, what spicie is it [Grammostola ______], and what it's common name ?

BTW - if you can to post an image of this T', so i can compare, it will be great.

Thank you all,
- David.

Could you provide a photo?
Even if you can find one online that resembles it would help.

On that note, there something called a "Red phase Rosea". It's just a varying color of a G.Rosea.

Right. It's the same thing it's just a red phase. You might make an extra 10 bucks selling it but that's about it.

Just so long as it's not G species "Red Concepcion" as we just had in another thread. That one might actually be a different species.

Read the thread for a way to tell the two apart.

I have a only one, very little and blurry pic of this T'.
he say he will send to me grammostols sp. north [I think this is the rosea], and grammostola sp. red.

if the T' I'm going to get is this, is that's G.rosea red color form ? or another sp. ?

I'm pretty sure that's it, but only when I'll get it I'll know. the pic I've got was very little and blurry.

Sounds like the seller is not absolutely sure about their identity either. Might have him read the thread and get back to you.

Anyway there's not a ton of difference between RCF and Red Conception from what I can tell (I don't think you can tell them apart from this kind of picture). They look pretty similar and they are pretty well behaved, though some reports have red concepcion possibly being somewhat more assertive. All the red Grammostolas are pretty neat spiders, though they may be commonish. I wish I had one myself.
