Avicularia avicularia M#3 ex Avicularia geroldi . 20mm DLC sling

Geroldi is likely not m3... m3 is only known from northern Venezuela, and geroldi is a Brazilian endemic species (well a nomen dubium species).. m3 retain small tufts of red guard setae, unlike the “true” geroldi that have blue guard setae. .. unless m3 were improperly labeled as geroldi in the hobby and that’s what you’re referring to.

Sub-adult A.avic M6. It was my first of many Ts and will always have a special place in my heart :)

Picked this guy or gal up at an expo today. The seller didn't seem to know much about it. I think it's an Avicularia avicularia, they had literally just " pink toe " on the container. It's almost 2.5" DLS exactly. Can anyone verify A. avic ? 20210213_160605.jpg 20210213_140826.jpg 20210213_140821.jpg

Tarantulas sold as "pinktoes" are usually Avicularia avicularia. If you'd like to request identification, see this thread for instructions: How to Request Species or Sex Identification.

I recommend adding some leafy clutter to the top half of the enclosure. Avics use this for cover and as anchor points for webbing. For more tips, see these care guides: Avicularia and Caribena by Venom1080 and Avicularia and Caribena by viper69.

Thank you, sorry I misused the thread. I'll fix the enclosure today.
