Brachypelma Annithia?

[Moakmeister]

Just discovered a larger, cooler looking version of Brachypelma Smithi that's equally as good for beginners. Where can I get a small female? I understand they're apparently rare. And do they live as long?

they live as long as B smithi. check out the classifieds here, and the main T dealers in your country.

classified here?

They are likely becoming a synonym for B. smithi btw so they seem to technically just be a smithi though likely a different population than we typically see as they exhibit slight color differences and may get ever so slightly larger. I doubt the reclassification will lead to them being clumped for sale as smithi but I'd like to see them being sold under a different label like B. smithi var. "annitha" or something to maintain accurate classification. here is a thread about the revision being published http://arachnoboards.com/threads/systematic-revision-of-brachypelma-red-kneed-tarantulas.287508/

I know someone right now with a small, sexed pair, for less than 100 bucks

dang. I'm actually currently 18 and in college. I won't be able to get tarantulas for several years. I was hoping for sources that I could use in the future. Hearing about your friend with a small sexed pair makes me cringe lol

Why does it make you cringe?

Because it's a good price and he can't buy them.

That sounds a bit too good to be true, especially in Canada where an unsexed sling goes for $100.

I thought so too, so I inquired. Seems legit, and seller is a long time keeper and breeder, very knowledgeable, and was very up front. I guess well have to wait and see.

Got pictures, I will try to upload Friday or Saturday.

Even if you upload them nobody here can confirm they're B. annitha.

Triangle pattern vs almost completely black carapace of B. Smithi.

Super nice Brachy. not big into Brachy T's but I really do like Annitha and Schroederi.

 

[Andrea82]

I didn't know annitha had a triangle on the carapace...most pics I have seen of annitha showed a much lighter carapace overall, not the triangle. The biggest difference was the coloring on the legs, with annitha having more coloured joints than smithi.
Just my thoughts, I am by no means an expert

Is that a rhetorical question?
