[BrynWilliams]

Hey guys

Just took delivery of my new T, i was expecting an AF A geniculata, but to my eye this is an N chromatus?

What you guys think?

Here she is:

Thanks in advance

Looks more like N.chromatus to me also.

That is Nhandu chromatus, without a doubt.

 

[BrynWilliams]

Yeah that's what i thought, i just wanted to be absolutely 100% sure before i have a few words with the seller

That is Nhandu chromatus, without a doubt.

That is Nhandu chromatus, without a doubt.

Agreed. The carapace of A. geniculata is much darker.

Yeah, I have couple juvenile N chromatus already, and they're colouring up nicely. The above specimen is about 6-6.5" diagonal legspan and thus becomes my largest N chromatus by far

Agreed. The carapace of A. geniculata is much darker.
