I was just wondering if anyone can identify the differences? The pet store that I got it from had "just got it in". The vial had these letters on it AV AZ but the employee was not sure about it. Looking at a bunch of pictures of slings I can not see the difference in these two. Here is a pic I took of mine last night.


I am hoping that one of the "experts" can help.

Avics are hard to id as full grown adults(although amizonica, and metallica look different enough to tell apart)...let alone when they are slings...due to the fact they almost all look a like as slings.....you will most likley have to wait till it nears adulthood to get an ID.

I have recently bred A. metallica, and got a good sac!....i still have 6 slings left from that sac, wich are 4th instar....and they look pretty much like the one you have posted....but i would like to see a ventral shot of you r sling...im trying to find out the suttle differences between avics as slings
