What species is this?

[Pociemon]

Sorry for the bad picture, it was taken with a friends bad mobile phone.

But he has this T at his home and dont have a clue what species it is, it is not a Rosie i can tell you.





from the pics my best guess is an obt(p. murinus). Looks like it.

 

[Kevmaster06]

Yeah, it is hard to tell but it could very well be an OBT. What did the cage look like?

 

[Andyn6969]

Yeah i would say OBT is a possibility ,but could be any number of species really! Do reckon you could get some more pics??

 

[Bothrops]

Pterinochilus murinus (OBT) 100% sure:

 

[Rochelle]

Pterinocilous murinus
Mombassa Golden Starburst Baboon.
O (range) B (itey) T (hing) .....

No question. 100%

Leave it in the tank.....

 

[Pociemon]

I go with obt also. It is not my T. I have a obt, but not that on the pic

thnax for the help

 

[7mary3]

Yeah, OBT, and as Rochelle said, leave it in the tank... Not one to handle.

I am sure he dont try handling. He had a big apophysis male 6 month ago and tried to handle him. He got nailed BIG TIME" in his hand(palm) and it hurt like hell he told me, because the T wouldnt let go, and he was dizzy for almost a week after the bite.

So he sold him and bought this T instead. He just didnt now the species.

Btw, anybody who knows how i get this post over in the correct forum?

I mean Tarantulas questions

So he sold the apophysis because he got bit and got an OBT instead? That's almost kinda funny! Suggest to him that he might not want to get bit by this one either!

 

[GartenSpinnen]

Um... maybe im just stupid, but i could have swore the bite from an OBT is 1.) a hell of a lot more likely to bite, 2.) is going to hurt a hell of a lot more because the venom is stronger? Hehehe...

hehe he did not know the species when he bought it. But he will never again handle ANY T i can tell you. He felt like a drunk for a week and he never thought a T could bite so hard and deep. It got him between the bones on the top of his hand, and it did need convincing to let go of it;-)

So now he has 2 nice scars as reminder of his misfortune and he shakes everytime he sees my big female apophysis

But he have nice enclosure for the obt. Actually loke obt´s like it.

I have asked him to make a profile in here and post a bite report, but i dont think he wants to;-(

That's too bad. this place is a great source for all kinds of useful information.

Stuff like which species are and aren't safe to handle is one subject that springs to mind...

*eyeswateringwithmirth* Yeah...what he said.....

 

[Pociemon]

Him and a computer is like a cat and dog in the same room:?

LOL!!! I can relate. I support a business network for trucking dispatchers. Imagine for a moment what it's like supporting a windows computing environment for a bunch of redneck retired truckdrivers who now have desk jobs. Every "stoopid user" stereotype imagineable but on speed...

Maybe if you show him how to get here and navigate around a bit you can turn him away from the dark side...

hehe i will give it a try. He says i can post it in the bite report for him, but i dont know about that, people may mistake me for being the unlucky guy, but i am NOT, i know my apophysis. I have 3 girls, one big and 2 subadults, and they all bite first and ask if it was ok after:evil:

 

[Nerri1029]

I would be comfortable saying I'm 80% sure it's a Pterinochilus species.. but with a picture like that I dare anyone to tell the difference between P. murinus and P. lugardi

that's all until I see a better pic.

 

[Pociemon]

He have got an experienced T guy to look at it in his home now, and it IS a obt;-)

 

[desertdweller]

Guess he got introduced to T's the hard way! Yeeeeoowwch! that's getting up close and personal right out of the gate.

Too bad he got bit, I got bit but not by the fangs, by the addiction!!
