I bought some slings from TSS a week or so ago. Ive followed the basic info from their website on this species but after looking it up in a few places, ive found absolutely nothing. Any help on why this is or the species would be appreciated
Sold as Aphonopelma crinirufum - Nicaraguan tan front
I can't really show any pictures of mine because its a 0.5cm sling

I saw these on the website too. I would imagine the same kind of care for any other Aphonopelma species? As these are slings though keep the substrate damper than that of a juvie or adult. Terrestrial set up, room temperature.

Looks like the WSC has both listed? for the longest time most all the stock sold as A. crinirufum were "blue fronts" so the one from TSS may well be a different T?

Screenshot_20170922-121641.png it does say its not the same as others being sold as a. Crinirufum so maybe not...just wanted to ask some people so i could get more of an idea as of why im not finding any other owners of it

From what I have heard the A. crinirufum is BIG for Aphono and has brown chelicerae and the 'blue front' crinirufum was mislabelled and is A. burica.

I've always found it useful to research Ts BEFORE I bought them, crazy idea I know.
