I don't know all of their common names. You can copy paste the scientific names into a google search and learn that way. Most people
in the hobby use the scientific names.

+1
Common names can be made up names. Its much better to learn the scientific names to identify different tarantulas. One species of tarantula in common name form can have 2 or more different names and that becomes confusing because the same tarantula would be thought of as two different T's.
For example the Brachypelma boehmei is a red and black tarantula. The common names can be Red leg or Fireleg when you go to a petshop. In common name form this is actually two seperate T's but would be thought of as one species. In scientific name form you would know exactly what you are getting so no confusion.
As slings, they generally all look the same with no identifying color markings. So for someone looking to buy one with just the common name you may have a big surprise when you find that the T you bought is not the one you really wanted.

New Poecilotheria rufilata!!!

My P. rufilata turned out male so I had the choice to trade him, sell him, wait for him to mature for a loan, or...
Buy him a new girlfriend!!!!
I think I made a good call. Good news is this girl is likely already gravid!

Poecilotheria rufilata

Thanks for looking! Oh and here's in case no one got to see my newest feeding video:

Some molt pics...

I was pretty disappointed that my Brachypelm albiceps molted and was confirmed male. I've believed this whole time that is was a girl. I have unbelievably bad luck when it comes to scorin' dudes instead of the hussies I'm tryin' to pull. Oh well. He's super handsome so that's a good thing. Anybody out there think they may have a lead on a female for him? Also, I thought it would be worth showing that about a week ago or so I had a very unexpected molt out of my Brachypelma emilia. The funny thing is that her colors are actually considerably less vibrant than on her last molt.
Here's the last molt:

Brachypelma emilia then

And here's my handsome homie
