Aviculara aviculara "Large Form"?

[Dippyabouttarantulas]

Hi guys and gals, quite new to the hobby and looking at getting an A Avicularia. What does it mean when breeders say it's large form?

 

[cold blood]

no idea....A. avics are distinguished by morphotypes...6 to be precise. I believe #6 and #2 are the largest.

I believe #6 and #2 are the largest.

A. avic morphtype #2 is Ex. A. braunshauseni, which is supposed to be the largest Avic I believe of the Avic genus. But how big does A. avic morphtype #6 grow? I thought they were average sized avics.

6 was metallica...females can reach the 6"+ range

I find that if I keep feeding them and wait long enough all my spiders become "large form."

Marketing guff, it'll be a bog-standard A. avicularia (morphotype #1)

A. avic morphtype #2 is Ex. A. braunshauseni, which is supposed to be the largest Avic I believe of the Avic genus.

A. variegata get to a similar size, if not bigger IIRC.

I know this is old, but it’s what i found using avic avic morphtype.

is there such a thing as just “morphtype”

or shouls it have a number.

if nothing is specified, should that mean its #1?

ok, i found this

Avicularia morphotypes

I made my thread about Avicularia care before the revision was published and so didn't include any of the new taxonomic updates. Here they are. almost two years later. I apologize if someone has already done this, but just recently it seems like some members could use some help on the subject...

i was mostly asking because i don’t want to buy a hybrid. I don’t mind a “plain” avic.

If they are in hiding most of the time, i don’t know what size will change. I like the a minatrix. That is what i am thinking. Just a shame they hide that much. Such a gorgeous spider.
