Which T Was in Home Alone Movie?

[speedreader]

Hi one and all,

The reason I am here is cuz I loved the final scenes of the afore-mentioned movie.

Here's the specific clip sequences of it:

What spider is it?

Doesn't look like G.rosea... May be A.seemani but those are skittish.

Brachypelma. It's definitely a Brachy.

 

[P. Novak]

IN a different scene of that movie it shows a Brachypelma smithi I believe, but that one doesn't look like a B.smithi. Probably some kind of Brachy though.

So they switched them to do that scene? Drat, I felt so clever.

I don't know if I am 100% right, but I'm pretty sure they used a B.smithi in that movie at some point.

B. auratum maybe? It looks like it has yellow/orangeish knees, but nowhere near as bright as a B. smithi, at least imho.

I love Marv's scream though!

Oh yeah I know in that scene it isn't B.smithi, but in I am gonna say this again, I believe there is a scene where it shows it as a B.smithi.

the one on the face looks like a smithi, but mine doesnt have tan on the underside of the opisthosoma. I am guessing A. seemanni because it does look a bit striped

I was thinking that as well, but I was thinking it would be a bit more skittish then that.

In that clip it looked like a younger chaco (G. aureostriata) to me..... Been a long time since I saw that movie though.....

Why the brachy definitely comment? Just curious, not challenging.

I'm fairly certain that's no A. seemanni.

 

[Scott C.]

All searches point to a rosea.... nothing I would consider reliable was found though.

 

[WRXspecR1]

In the early 90's there were not so many species available... some brachypelma, aphonopelma, Avicularia and the G. rosea. Maybe more than that but not easily available. I think G. aureostriata was not yet known, it was describe in 2001 if I remerber well.

No way it's an A. seemani if seemanis are generally as skittish as mine is.
