Avicularia sp ID

[P. Novak]

Hello wonderful hobbyists!
I just had these two Avicularia species come in yesterday as Avicularia avicularia. I immediately knew they werent.
The white sattae all over the body, greenish hue, lack of red hair on the abdomen, and size of of one of them makes me think A. metallica. The larger one is 5.5” (first 3 pics) and the smaller 4” (last 2 pics)

I’d like to hear your opinions.
I understand it’s all speculation at this point though.

I suspect you are right and they are Avicularia avicularia morphotype #6

Not an Avic expert but my A. avic has pinker feet and slightly less shiny hairs on the abdomen.

I agree with kezy.

As they are not A. avic morph #6, technically they are Avic avic, although the morph should have been specified as we need to keep those separate from the more common A. avic.

Nice looking ts.

Requests to identify a tarantula's species should be uploaded in the Tarantula Identification gallery, not posted on the forum.

1. Click the above link.
2. Click "Add Media" (near the upper-right corner).
3. Select "Upload an image from your files" (should be selected by default).
4. Click "Upload Image."
5. Select the image file on your computer or phone.
6. Add a title (preferably including the name yo were give, if any) and description.
7. Click "Save Media."

If you have multiple images of the same tarantula, the best way to handle that is post a comment on your first image with thumbnail links to the additional images.

How to embed images in comments (I recommend using the thumbnail option):

1. Open the image (in Arachnoboards) that you want to embed.
2. Copy the code in "Share BB (With Thumbnail) Code" or "Share BB GALLERY Code." (Both of these options allow the user to click the image for a link to the source.)
3. Paste the code where you want the image to be in your comment.
