Your opinion on what this tarantula is please:

 

[Kevo]

Hi,


A geniculata (Brazilian Giant Whie Knee)

 

[rapunzel]

which is what I said..

but it looks different than my cousin's, hers isnt as hairy, and the leg striping is a little different.

 

[Kevo]

Yes there is another species called:


L cristatus

Same colouring but different leg patterning and carapiece.

 

[manville]

that looks like a a genic to me

 

[GoTerps]

Definetly A. geniculata

 

[bodc21]

The Lasiadora christata has a white carapace, with basicly the same leg markings as the Acanthascuria geniculata.

The photo is A geniculata. Cristatas as mentioned has a white ceph and the markings while very close are slightly different.

sooo

are the more immature just less hairy? The way I am guessing is hers is also a. genic, but has only got the vertical striping on the legs at the top segment and lots less hair, plus her whitestripes are more a cream color than white.

 

[Navaros]

genic.

 

[Phillip]

They get more hairy as they get older and larger.
