Sericopelma rubronitens?

[hamfoto]

Mikhail,

Is there someone that knows who is who in sericopelma genus?
I would like to get this spiders ID. Would I have to send the spider or can i Just send a molt?
It does'nt look like others being sold as S. rubronitens. It has thick yellowish stripe on the knees.

Yes, his name is Ray Gabriel. He's a crazy Scot living in England...you can get a hold of him via the BTS site or the T-Store forum. He's the man to talk to!

Hello Jeff!

The spyder I got from reptist as S. robronitens. does not have any stripes at all on its legs. It is jet black with red hairs on its abdomen.Plus since she molted a couple months ago she is skittish to the point of being aggresive. In fact I am very carefull now of putting my hands in her enclosure at all.She is a great looking T. though ,lways out in the open. Care wise she likes it when I flood her water bowl so part of her enclosure is damp.

It's really nice that You noticed the stripes, but as far as I know the spider just brought from the wild as the one striped on the photo and spider kept in captivity and molted like Yours are may look just to different speceis.
the good example of this, is Haplopelma lividum. Several WC specimens I saw in the batch arrived from the wild had not ANY sign of the blue color at all...
But the same spiders after the first molt would be never misID'ed as H. lividum - the cobalt blue as blue can be...

BTW. If You noticed looking the photo of reptist in this thread jet black with red hairs - is Sericopelma sp, but proven S. rubronitens shows dark brown coloration thus just You should re-confirm the ID of Your Sericopelma ;P
This clearly illustrates all the bullshit we discuss here...:wall:

I am pretty sure the dealer I got this spider from, got it in with wild caught S.robronitens. Thats what he thought it was. It looks like a Sericopelma Sp. to me.

I was the one Bryan got that spider from, it was the only one like it with a bunch of other sericopelma that were imported in. It's attitude is different from other sericopelma that we have seen. Rather large also,

Yes, John, very old female suffering recently before being caught from the life in the wild thus this markings (called stipes) means.
I hope I'm wrong... but hardly unlikely.

I picked up two myself that were listed as "panama breeders". I believe that Sericopelma rubronitens is the correct name for panama red rumps and mine are pretty jumpy as well. Mine were more of a rescue tho so I wasn't sure how I could really compare their behavior. Both of mine are fairly large 6-7 inches and very dehydrated and underfed when I got them. Mine are jet back with red hairs on the abdomen very similar to vagans.

surely black body and red abdomen IS a vagans??? my panama red rump is chocolate brown with redish abdomen, maybe depends on the stage of post molt
