Checking spermathecae is your best bet

That being said, you can't picture ID them.

Would you say it's a good buy for $50?

 

[DemonAsh]

I don't know if its high or low, but I would have certainly paid $50 for it. Nice looking T!!

Would you say it's a good buy for $50?

Most definitely. These are worth around $120+ for adult females.

Thanks JC.

The picture above does not do the T any justice. The femurs and the carapace are a beautiful green. I have to wait for a decent camera to get a better picture. In comparison to an MF A.jurensis picture i've found, I have suspicions that's what she may be. The previous owner mentioned she hasn't molted in about a years time, so when she molts I'll grab the molt and check out the spermathecae. Did I mention she was sold to me as an A.Avic
