Avicularia sp. common name?

[thatdadlife619]

So I just purchased an Avicularia ulrichea getting crickets today and although I use the scientific names when discussing t’s I still like to know the common ones just for my own knowledge. I can’t seem to find much of anything online and it seems to be under “doubtful name” when I do find something. Anyone have anymore info that I’m missing on this ones common name?

Pink Toe

I think it's hilarious you asked for the common name.

All Avics are Pink Toes here in the USA..it's a useless name esp for Avics.

Still learning, wasn’t trying to be funny but thanks for the feedback

I know you weren't...but it's hilarious. Everyone comes in here using common name, asking for sci name...you're the first Ive seen in doing the reverse, just hilarious.

I just try and be as knowledgeable about the t’s I buy, even after purchase I try and learn what I can. Even if it’s pointless/useless

All the new nomenclature especially after the revision of Avicularia honestly has me pretty confused too. And you're right, when someone says "Pink toe" you never really know what species they're talking about! The same thing goes with "birdeater" and "earth tiger". Drives me nuts because you never know what species someone is trying to discuss.

I think common names are useful, to a point.

Which is exactly why I asked Soooo confusing

Yeah I am fairly new to the hobby but I learned real quick the sci names are just more practical when purchasing or discussing with other enthusiasts

I agree, since some dealers won't list the scientific name. It can definitely get confusing though.

Im pretty sure ulrichea is now rufa, along with a few others, most of which go by "yellow banded pink toe" or sonething along those lines

m pretty sure ulrichea is now rufa

I thought they were A. juruensis (morphotype 1)

Im pretty sure that's the case. I was never a jurensis fan, so not 100% sure.

Common names are confusing and don’t translate in between countries or even keepers. Overall It‘s recommended you learn the latin and avoid the usage of vernacular, most will recognise the species and it’ll avoid confusion...

Thanks for the correction
