Avicuaria avicularia
I just got my pink toe positively identified as a very pretty avic. avic. and it is definitaly without a dought NOT a metallica, so don't get your hopes up, I was hoping it was as well but it is not. Micheal Jacobi of the spider shoppe and living terrarium did this for me and he has been breeding arachnids for 30+ years. So I just thought I would confirm it for you that it is an Avicularia avicularia. Mine looks identical to the one you have a pic of.
TheEternal said:This post is mainly for everyone who kept telling me that I don't know what Avicularia metallica (pet trade version, anyway) was ;P
I bought my A. metallica as "pinktoe" for $20 at a Petland. On her first molt, the dull dark blue became an AMAZING bright blue! I posted pictures on these boards, and everyone wanted to tell me that the fading patch of purple hair on her abdomen meant I had an A. avicularia.
She molted again this week. She's now up to 6.5" and the purple patch is almost gone! She's so pretty and unbelievably docile!
So I'll just leave everyone with a picture, and this quote: "Na na na na boo boo!"

Avic. Metallica
.... Avic's are my all-time favorite species. I think it is Avic. Avic. Check out a book by Sam Marshall, Tarantula's and Other Arachnids. He shows a pic of Metallica that is real light shiny blue, with longer white-tipped hairs, and of course little pink toes. I am not sure it was a sling or not. I have never seen another one like it, ever. I wish I had. So instead of looking for Avic. Metallica, I'll just stick w/ my P. Metallica
