Brachypelma Baumgarteni

Baumgarteni has much lighter legs.Thay are more orange then red.Boehmei
legs are a much darker red.Boehmei has a small amount of black around the
eyes and baumgarteni has a carapace like smithi.At about 2 1/2 to 3 inchs
thay start to get black in there carapace and get more black everytime thay
molt.Baumgarteni are much calmer then Boehmei and its rare for them to kick
hair.Boehmei will kick hair anytime you disturb there container.I have 26 adult
female Boehmei and 11 adult female Baumgarteni.So I know what I'm talking
about.I hope I helped you.If you to -www.brachypelma.co.uk thay have 9
pictures.Thay show there a couple of color phases.I only have 1.

I'm currently in the process of getting one of Rob's female slings. They seem to be a pretty cool spider. From the pics I've seen they have a dark carapace unlike boehmei and also have lighter legs like Rob said. I also noticed that like a smithi or annitha the stripes on their "knees" stand out and are much darker orange than the rest of the leg segments. Can't wait to get my female they look like another awesome brachy!!!!!

Oh and if anybody is looking for one or would like to see a sling pic check out Rob's classified add (since he hasn't posted it yet I figured I do the honors ;)): http://www.arachnoboards.com/ab/showthread.php?t=141009

Can you take a picture of the flash stripe that is on the metatarsus?
I figured because that was one of the major defining characteristics of this species you would have avoided taking a top shot like that.
I'd love to see that. :)
Also interesting that yours has almost no black on the carapace.

Hey wow dude, wake up on the wrong side of the bed?:? I am just comparing specimens through the photographs which is why I was asking for specific pictures. I did not realize I challenged you into some kinda of manhood thing.:confused:
And no I don't want you to grab a freshly molted T that would be stupid, I want you to get 1 of the the other 10 females you say you have and photograph that. :) The more I can compare to the better. :D
