Looks more like Lasiodorides striatus to me. Is it orange/tannish underneath?

Really you thinks so

 

[G_Wright]

I just found a loead of pics of Lasiodorides striatus and they look nothing like my T. But I did find some pics on peoples sites of that were labled as A seemanni that were brownish like mine.

Pluse I also read that there is a tan veriations of A seemanni

I know that you cannot positively ID a spider from a picture, but having the usual imports in mind and the general "looks and feels" of L. striatus and A. seemanni in mind I would say that your T is most likely to be L. striatus. Compare with this picture from Rick West's site:

http://www.birdspiders.com/index.cf...l&imageid=15B00941KD0B7KAEC2K14E9BC04FCA49172

At least I can say this much. All A. seemanni has orange/tannish spinnerets and are orange/tannish ventrally. Do your spider possess that kind of ventral coloration?

I can say this is not an A. seemanni. Most likely a L. striatus

In my opinion a very nice spider that grow very very large and easily outgrow an A. seemanni ;-)

Quick revival of the Aphonopelma thread

First up is my A.anax that will sometime be over 1" leg span, but it is now over at least 2yr old

Next is T-porn... Female Sandy and Ty going aerobic.

Here is the sperm transfer...

Then there is my almost always angry female A.moderatum... I woke her up to clean out uneaten dinner

Last up is Tuesday, a mature A.seemanni female

And it's my Aphonopelma seemanni "blue legs"

Large juvenile/subadult

 

[Aviculariinae]

VERY very nice indeed. :}

I'm just waiting for the same colurs as Ephebopus Cyan..., guess the blue will come after her next molt.

 

[Aviculariinae]

I didnt think they got much more blue(r) than this,I have never kept any Aphonopelma spp. Would the crinirufum get as much blue as Cromatopelma cyaneopubescens

 

[aftershock]

No only the fangs, they get metallic blue!

 

[Joe1968]

that is very beautiful!!!! its a quite rare species here in the U.S.

 

[aftershock]

Yo don't see them around here very often either.
