[moose35]

the cup in the picture is a 2 ounce condiment cup so you can get a size reference.

here is a couple pics on moult mat

Looks like a blue phase Aphonopelma seemani to me. Or some dark form. I suck at Iding Ts though.

I'm with Talkenlate.

[P. Novak]

Definately not Aphonopelma seemanni; just in case, does it have rusty orange spinnerets?

It does seem to have an Aphonopelma spp. or Acanthoscurria spp. feel to it though.. I could be wrong, I've never seen this T before. Sorry. Where'd you get it?

 

[Talkenlate04]

Definately not Aphonopelma seemanni

How could you say definately not but then say this.......

It does seem to have an Aphonopelma spp.

I readly admit I suck at Iding random Ts. But blue phase seemanni and or a dark form look very similar to this one. I am always wrong though when it comes to this, its my big weakness.

 

[P. Novak]

Because Aphonopelma seemanni has rusty orange spinnerets and have an orange pale underside, which I don't see. That is 100% way of Iding A.seemanni. I was saying definately not to seemanni, not Aphonopelma. I really should start to clarify more on my posts...:?

I'll have to look a bit longer to give you a better idea.

It's def not A. seemani. Underside is the same color as rest of the body.

Novak is right, it is definitely not an A. seemani. All you have to do is look at the included moulting pictures to see that it is quite black ventrally. I'm sorry that I don't have a guess as to what it might be.

Ok, I got a side question. Both of you spelled "seemanni" with 1 "n", I always thought it was 2 "n"s, and after a quick search I find that many spell it with two and one. So which is it?


Back on topic, wow moose, you stumped us..

 

[moose35]

yea its not A. seemani. i know that for sure. i've included a booty pic for reference. thanks for helping me out with this guys. she's been a mystery for me for way tooo long.
as for where i got her...i have no clue. its sad but i really don't remember.

and here is they booty pic

 

[P. Novak]

I'm sure someone will pop in with some good information on this T, it's a beautiful T even without an ID though!:clap:

 

[moose35]

thank you novak...she is my favorite by far out of mine. she is soo funny to watch. she refuses to have a burrow. i give her something to use as a hide and she just buries it.

Haha, sounds like my little Grammostola aureostriata. I hope she can be IDed soon, so I can look into buying one of these oddballs.

 

[davros]

Looks like Lasiodorides striatus

You know what, I think your right.

I know comparing pics isn't the best way to go about IDing, but this definately looks like your girl moose...

[moose35]

ok i agree she looks like a Lasiodorides striatus. but aren't they supposed to be pretty big? this girl is very small. i would assume its some kind of dwarf. just want to see if anyone has any other ideas.

Looks like a Lasiodorides species to me.. striatus i reckon.

The spider in this pic is only 3cm (body i guess) but looks identical to yours

[Orchidspider]

I have a striatus and though they get about 7-8" mine is 5" and a slow grower, she is a slate blue with orange markings like yours. In fact I had a A. seemani but traded it when I got my striatus. Ive had my striatus for about 2years and she only molted this year, and not last year- so they take time. Mine also alows me to hold her at times, and she is not a flicker at all, thought sometimes gets flighty. She is a pretty docile spider on the whole, and definatly not an easy species to find. Look at your striatus in the sun light and you will see a really nice slate blue color, making this one of my favorite t's to own.

 

[Bothrops]

When I saw the pics my first thought was: "Lasiodorides striatus" too.
