Nice LP shes big.

That looks like a choco golden knee. Sorry to burst your bubble.

You haven't burst anyone's bubble because that is an LP. They look very similar though so I don't blame you for the confusion.

Please, do not take the OP for being wrong while being horribly wrong yourself. This T is clearly NOT a Grammostola

You haven't burst anyone's bubble because that is an LP. They look very similar though so I don't blame you for the confusion.

Not similar enough to be mistaken for each other, I believe. Even a beginner who knows at least a bit would notice the clear lack of mirror patch, very visibly present amongst the most commonly kept species of the Grammostola genus, G.pulchripes included.

 

[Truffs1178]

For the untrained eye they could be easily mistaken. For someone who was previously unaware of the distinctions they would most likely get confused.

If you lack knowledge about the subject, then it'd be advisable not to try to give advice at all. No information is better than, though given in good faith, misinformation.

Oh! snap?

Ask Philth or Jose or some of the breeders!

They will help.
Don't worry about the bickering, just be able to learn some new things.
She's pretty and may be Lasiodora something, or Acothoscurria oddball...

I have a ton of Ts and the LP does not really look like this though.
The do have a crusty phase to go through though.
Look at a bunch of true LP.
They are a bit different.

Lasiodora huh?

I would not put money on it!

Enjoy the weekend.

I concur that it doesn't look like LPs I've seen, but since I don't have an idea what it IS, I refrained from speculating.

 

[MarkmD]

Looks like a G,pulchripes. dont know why I said big LP on my other post. although LP do have white bands on thayr legs.

 

[Hydrazine]

Having a G.pulchripes in my care, I think I can elaborate on this one and say OP's tarantula is certainly not a G.pulchripes - let's compare.

Aside from coloration, which is not as reliable, carapace shape, which is unlike a Grammostola at all, and other physical markings such as aforementioned lack of mirror patch, are quite different. I am curious myself what the T really is, but I'd rather not speculate, though I have something in mind.

Where did I misinform anyone? I said the same thing as you before you even posted it. And yes your right its not a Grammostola.

Showing off our fat little butt. :biggrin:

 

[Ghost Dragon]

My LP, Evita. And for scale, my hand is 7 " from wrist to tip of middle finger.

 

[just1moreT]

Mine just got her new jeans 3 days ago she is right at 6 inches

 

[DMTWI]

Nice T's, both of them! Looking forward to my little chow hound gaining some size. :biggrin:

 

[asiletto]

Here's mine, tiny tiny sling

 

[MarkmD]

You have some time till she's giant, mines is only 5.3" and still got growing to do, got pics in my gallery, all be it they do grow quickly when slings just take longer as juvies/sub-adult/adults, they are awesome T's thought

 

[ARspiders]
