Tarantula with red X form at abdomen ???

[Cpt.nemO]

Hi u all, I heard about a dark coloured T, dark grey or possibly black with a pink / red X marked on its abdomen. Any of u heard of such a T ?? Any Pics ???

 

[Greg Wolfe]

X marks the spot...

I have never seen anything like that, but would be curious to see such a T!

 

[Cpt.nemO]

Anyone ???

 

[Cirith Ungol]

Are you sure you don't mean a black widow? Not a T but has a red hourglass on black background?!

 

[Cpt.nemO]

that was the first thing that came into mind also , but the guy guaranteed it was a large spider, I believe its a T but its probably not what he described to me.

 

[shogun804]

that guy could just be out for taking your money

 

[Raqua]

I heard of some undescribed Avicularia which quite fits this describtion ...

 

[Cpt.nemO]

Avic was the first species to ring a bell, i think i ve seen one more or less like this in rick west's home page a long time ago but i am not sure.

 

[tmanjim]

sounds like piratus giganticus - the infamous buried treasure tarantula. hee hee hee

 

[Jmadson13]

It could be C. fasciatum

 

[Deschain]

That's what I thought last night. C.fasciatum/D.fasciatus. The "Tiger" pattern, could look similar to an X, to the laymen...especially with a bunch of hair missing.

Without pics though, it's like describing that movie...with those two guys in it...that did that stuff. You know.

 

[Cpt.nemO]

yeah man i know heheheheheh i am as anxious as it gets to know what T this guy is talking about, soon i will know
