Dave's little beasties comments about captive bred G. Pulchra

[AphonopelmaTX]

For the T. blondi , wasn't it the T. blondi Surinam locality at the time? Compared to the one that came before that which was the T. Blondi French Guiana, it is indeed smaller.

Andrew Smith's documentary on Theraphosa blondi has since then clarified that the T. blondi we thought was just a locality from Surinam is indeed a different species and we're just waiting for the publication. It's going to be called Theraphosa surinamensis. In the documentary, it was mentioned that the species to be T. surinamensis is definitely smaller in size and has much more setae on its legs.

I have no idea what country anything sold as Theraphosa blondi came from at any given time. None of the people I bought mine from told me what the country of origin was of the spiderlings. My two smaller-than-expected T. blondi males are in jars of alcohol so when new descriptions are published I have the material to compare with.
