Brachypelma pallidum?

[Scolopendra55]

I was told that B.pallidum was changed to B.verdezi, or A.pallidum; is this true? Also does anybody have any pics of one (my friend is giving me her 7 year old -GIANT- female this Sunday )?

What used to be Brachypelma pallidum is now Aphonopelma pallidum. There's a pretty good picture on e-spiderworld.com, under "adult females" and then click on the species name.

i think what has been around as b. pallidum has been described as two species: a. pallidum and b. verdezi. i got a verdezi for valentines day, look here:

I am pretty sure its now B. verdezi.

yes, b. pallidum is now b. verdezi.

however, the species that is now a. pallidum used to be sold as b. pallidum as well.
