I just got this tarantula last night. It is about 2 inches long using the diagonal tip of the front left leg to the tip of the rear right leg as the measurement.
Is it an Acanthoscurria geniculata or an Acanthoscurria brocklehursti ?
Is it to young to determine the gender ?
So far it has eaten 5 small brown crickets about 1/2 inch long. While I am new the tarantulas I had a very large new world solid black one when I was a teenager. I have a small son is why I chose new world spider even though I like the Indian Pokies best. This was because of the nasty bite of the Pokies and he is to young for that.
Here are some links to a couple of very decent photos of these two tarantulas that I have found online so far but they are of adult taratulas and mine is only a couple of inches leg to leg...
