You are though lol. The spiderling you linked to on Martins page is not the same thing as the adult that I linked to. That's why it doesn't look like Chromatopelma lol. Are you on Facebook? We are talking about this spider.... https://www.facebook.com/spidershoppoland/posts/1249283855106833?pnref=story

I saw that....

and this http://www.tarantulacanada.ca/pic.php?active=info&p=Tnae sp1 S


As I said, I looked at all of Martin's images.


Regardless it doesn't mean the T belongs in the GBB genus. That's all I ever said really.

I don't disagree, all I'm really saying is that there is a good chance that it is lol.

AH I see, not sure why I didn't see before.

They are dead ringers for GBBs like you said at that size. But I don't think that's enough. Science will tell us!

I am going to agree with Tom. I have looked at several photos of slings - adult of the two specimen as well as fasciatum slings-adult and carapace structure relative to size and shape. The Theraphosinae sp. kolumbia appearance is closer to GBB. However, at this time with out clear study and evidence it will obviously stay as unidentified and may remain that way for some time like many other unidentified spiders in the hobby. Perhaps a new Genus/species all together and I look forward to receiving them in a few weeks as they are truly another beautiful tarantula.

well, look at M balfouri and M lambertoni, they look nothing alike as adults, but are still in the same genus.

There was never an argument.

Tom and I had a difference of semantics about saying the same thing, that's all.
I know I was just stirring up the pot.

I'm also getting one of these fine beauties, look into the future as it's near I'll be posting photos of this species. Same with the Pamphobeteus sp. "Solaris.

Wait until the common name is revealed and I wonder what people will say about it.

Well I agree , it's probably a poor example though as lambertoni is excepted to be moved out of the Monocentropus genus ;)

Oh nice teaser! Can I guess ? How about the "Yellow Bottle Gold Tarantula" lol.

@Philth that sounds to much like the "Green Bottle Blue", nice try though.

Googly eye tarantula. Pretty sweet spider nonetheless!
