If you posted a ventral shot it would make iding it a lot easier.

Yup, @boina already suggested I do that, so I will upload one as soon as I get a chance.

So I got the Pokie. Setup was horrendous, just a hollow tiki head and a water dish, nothing else. Spider looks healthy, if not slightly stressed. She's about 5 1/2" DLS, legs not fully extended. Pictures of spider and setup below.

What species do you guys think it is?

50 dollars, cage included.

That's a steal, even compared to European prices!!

I will not go looking at our Craigslist equivalent! I will not go looking at our Craigslist equivalent. I will not go looking at our Craigslist equivalent... Maybe just a peek...

I would say P regalis. ... between the markings and the yellow coloring .... but I am no expert...

This is the image I used to compare the patterns to, and it looks to me like you've got a Striata. What I ended up using as the definitive factor was that one black band just before the first joint on the rear legs. A beautiful spider you got there.

Who would have guessed that the geniculata was a dangerous specimen. They used the latin names so they must know what they're talking about right?

 

[D Sherlod]

I wouldn't classify anything n the list as dangerous some not for beginners maybe but dangerous come on..

I assume this person was referring to the Lampropelma...they are an advanced species.

Female.

And I'd say @Greasylake is right, it's most likely a striata.

Ha, saw the same ad. Contacted the guy and he said he's selling the stirmi for $250. Seems a little steep to me.

Not worth it imo, you can find better deals. it really isn't worth it.

Could be what he ment...but the way the add was written made me think that was directed at everything he had
