You are telling me a tarantula seller sold you that as a PZB, and couldn't tell the difference? Wow.

No,James was fooled. He had the scientific name right,but had the common names as "pzb"...

Yes you got fooled. N. chromatus are relatively inexpensive, as are A. geniculata but a CB E. campestratus would cost a bit more, here at least. They also look nothing alike, just google them lol.

It was probably an honest mistake. Common names just are not that trustworthy. If you let the dealer know he would probably give you what you want or a refund.

I guarantee you it is A.brocklehursti.I have some of that batch as well.
James was sold those by a vendor on this site,as A.brocklehursti,but was told the common name was Pink Zebra Beauty. I informed him otherwise,since he was only looking for docile spiders at the time....lol.....
