Chilean Flame Tarantula (Euathlus sp. "Chile Flame"

[sick4x4]

Hi Wayne,



Different sources produced different common names.

There were slings from Europe (as "red") available before the WC's (as "chile flame") were available here. Same spider.

Most dealers only know what's been told to them (and sold to them) by the Chile guys... and I won't get started on them in this thread.

lol....thanks for the clarification....so is there a specific identification name or just Euathlus sp'????

What about sp. "Yellow" ? They all seem the same.

Later, Tom

I just picked up one of these T's and was wondering if there is any new info on them now? I bought it as a "Dwarf Chilean Flame" from a local reptile show and it looks just like the spider in the first pic in this thread. From the research I have been doing Im thinking the real name for this species is "Euathlus sp. Red." Ill get some pics up soon but it looks just like the this...

I found this care sheet but Im not sure if I should follow it. http://www.chilearacnidos.com/ (Just click T's then Euathlus sp. Chile flame)
What do you guys think?
