Im bothered, because it looks familliar...

This almost looks like Holothele incei ....but not really? I've never seen Holothele incei in person so I can't say.
But it looks like a species I remember seeing a picture of on line...(aside from this picture)
I have the opportunity to purchase a few adults at 10$ each...

They only get 3 inches when they have reached adult hood and communal?

She supplied this picture saying that they look exactly alike, however she calls them Pygmy Tarantulas

so if you know the critters ID that would be appreciated.

Thank you for your time.

The genus is Acanthogonatus and they are not tarantulas (they belong to the family Nemesiidae).

I have one myself. They do only reach about 3 inches, however they are not communal. So this seller doesn't know what she has.

Yup, what they said.
Acanthogonatus, not communal, not a tarantula.
$10 is a good price! My female (probably) A. pissii was $36.

Awesome! A friend of mine also said it could be Calisoga sp.

I'll be picking some up, I really enjoy spiders who make holes. haha.

Theres six of them, hopefully afew are females and males..

It kinda looks like A. pissii when I look at the picture a little longer, but we will see monday when I aquire them.

Thanks for all the info, and let me know any special needs they may have.

(I will laugh a little if they end up being h. encei and she just downloaded a pretty picture.. xD)
