Went to a reptile show today, ...their selection left a LOT to be desired. Only 2 dealers had T's, and one of those only had two. The one that only had 2, had a sling labeled as a dwarf rosehair, and this one, labeled only as a Stripeknee...about 2 1/2 to 3 inches, haven't measured it yet.



This is the one I brought home....
maybe A. Seemanni???? The pics I've found of those look exactly like this one so far....

The other dealer had a TON of OBTs, a bunch of rosehairs, and a very nice B. Pallidum which he wanted $60 for. Unfortunately halfway through the show, my fiances wallet was stolen. She left it in the resteraunt and realised it and went back for it and it was gone. When we got home there was a message on the answering machine from someone who found it in the parking lot, but all the money was gone. So I now have one T so far....

They must not have been feeding it, the abdomen was small, and it has pounced on 5 large crickets so far, as soon as the cricket gets anywhere near it.

That definitely looks like A. seemanni to me. And I wonder if the "dwarf rosehair" might've been P. scrofa? No telling really... boo to common names!

Looks exactly like my 2 A. seemanni ladies, and from the that is what a Stripeknee is last I checked. I like calling them a Costa Rican Zebra (CRZ) or just a Zebra. Looks like you got a very nice looking black phase too. Welcome to the addiction...:D

wow, it just sat around doing nothing all day except when it ate...now it's running around like a madman, climbing the walls and exploring.

This ones is definitely going to be an eater LOL, 6 crickets last night, and a pinkie this morning. Nailed the pinkie as soon as it hit the substrate!!!
