P. regalis or P. striata

[Garrett970]

I bought a Female P. regalis a few years back. I never thought much of it till I was now but I notice no distinctive cream band on her underside. Im told ALL regalis will have a distinctive cream band... So now Im leaning towards a P. striata due to the certain markings but Im still not quite sure. I attached some photos for reference.
Any and all opinions would be greatly appreciated!

It's not a regalis or it would have the cream colored band. Maybe striata.

You can ID Poki's by looking at their legs ventrally. I knows of ventral viewed Poki legs are on this site and the net, ID'ing each leg to a given species. I'd look for those. I'd post them, but they aren't mine.

Poecilotheria striata.

The dorsal/ventral leg banding on regalis and striata is almost identical. The biggest thing distinguishing them from a hobbyist's point of view is regalis' belly band. From the first pic, it's obvious yours is an adult female, also obvious it's not a regalis.

Striata are no good man.. Not nearly as cool as regalis.. Just send her my way and buy yourself a new regalis! ;-)

100% not a regalis leaving your only options being striata or a hybrid as I know that they get mislabeled and confused with each other quite commonly it wouldn't surprise me if there are a number of not-so-pure specimens out there. @14pokies I disagree man. My striata was my first pokie and after she molted she was down right stunning.

Great looking striata you got yourself there.... I can´t see wich othet poec it could be. It is the band that separates them...No band, striata....

But he's staying with me haha, if you want to loan her to me I'd be happy to cut a 50/50 though

Ahhy mistake, it wasn't very clear, I know quite a few people who are adamantly on the regalis side of the regalis vs striata.

There is no such thing as the 'wrong' Poec.

I completely agree, the whole genus is a work of art
