Wannabe Golith

[Philth]

Ok today this was sold to me as a Golith birdeater. I piad 50 bucks for it. When i went to put her in its new tank she was very defensive and try to bite the pen i was using to coax her out of the cup she came in, rather than flicking hairs and running like most Goliths do. After a closer look i realized it's not a golith at all, most likely some kinda Asian spider, maybe a Haplopelma. After she was in the tank for about a hour it made a burrow, and webbed up the whole thing. This is no Golith, I found a piece of a old molt in the cup it came in, and the spermatheca didnt look like my other goliths either. Golith's have a fused spermatheca as this one had a double. How many more clues do i need :?

 

[Philth]

Oh yeah, my question was what speices is it?

 

[Philth]

It wasnt easy getting pics

I'm not sure but how big is it, and if you could get some better pics someone could help you out.

 

[MrT]

I don't know, daddy-o.:?
But its a sweet looking T.
Can you take it back? Or do you want to?

Philth,
Looks sorta like that Selenocosmia sp. that Bill (Invertepet) and I posted pics of. Steve Nunn added his comments, as well.
See it here

Do these photos resemble the spider you have?

Your picture really didn't help that much. All I saw were shapes of tarantula. But something tells me it is not a T. Blondi.

 

[Sean]

Yeah thats no Blondi, you should definatly take it back if your not satisfied with it

 

[invertepet]

I'll trade you a real blondi for it...

I'll trade you a real blondi for it...

[RugbyDave]

id say it is a lovely Haitian Brown,im probabally wrong jus going by the pictures-jason

 

[bodc21]

just out of curiosity was i right about this tarantula or wrong,also id like to know what species it is so i can get one also a very nice looking tarantula may i add

 

[Jakob]

Looks like a C. paganus a.k.a. H. longipedum. If in fact that is what it is then you were ripped off pretty badly so let's hope that's not what it is. It's a bit hard to tell from those pics...

 

[RugbyDave]

how big is it? I can't really tell (pics can be deceiving) -- any new pics?

peace
dave

 

[Steve Nunn]

I would say LaRiz and Bill S. are on the right track. Most definately an Asian species and looking a lot like the unkown Selenocosmia sp. being seen occasionally. I'd say you scored well

Cheers,
Steve
