Guess That Spider

[Venom1080]

Aww they try their best! My girl is a solid, and I mean solid, 2 inches! 2.5 if she is really stretching

Not good enough. Under 3.5" isn't a tarantula.
I'd take one for free, but that's about it.
Imo of course.

Haha I can get that! Still a fun little one. She's a feisty eater and loves to throw a threat pose when I'm cleaning her enclosure and will slap at my tweezers xD also an awesome webber and tunnel builder. Got her and a few others for a steal a year ago today actually! I'll recommend this species to anyone though!

Avicularia Taunayi?

 

[KezyGLA]

Avicularia Taunayi?

Nope

 

[Deeser]

Avicularia Merianae?

 

[Screamingreenmachine]

Hmmm, avicularia ulrichea?

 

[KezyGLA]

Avicularia Merianae?

Correct.

You're up

 

[Venom1080]

Avicularia Taunayi?

Is that still a valid species? I've never heard of it..

 

[Deeser]

Sorry for the sling shot! Should be pretty simple though. My others are all too easy or impossible to get photos of.

 

[Venom1080]

D diamentenensis?

Apparently it is as I'm finding relatively recent articles (within the last few years) on it around the web. It seems to be one of the few that survived the review of the whole genus!

I second the guess of D diamantinensis...

 

[Deeser]

D diamentenensis?

Nope

 

[miss moxie]

That's clearly a black olive with toothpicks sticking out of it. Nice try, Deeser, but you haven't fooled me.

Nope! I had never heard of that one - looks like a Tapi Pink Toe!
