The first male looks like a Pamphobeteus Nigricolor I say that because of the definition between the marking on the carapace the bigger one is definitely a Pamphobeteus Platyomma! The female would be difficult to identify however I would be able to tell if you uploaded some pictures of her with her juvenile markings/color. I’ve owned a lot of different Pamphobeteus species and it is much easier to identify the species when they are juveniles or adult males most of the mature females are almost indistinguishable with the exception of the Ultramarinus.
@Exquailibur Жыл бұрын
Pamphobeteus is a cool genus but with how similar so many of them look it makes me wonder if many of these are different localities rather than species, I think genetic research would be so interesting for these guys. I mean out of all the different spider genera Pamphobeteus is the one that gives me the most headache because it feels like there are 10 giant spiders with purple males and dark brown/black females so I have no idea if I even wanna think about breeding these because I feel like I would end up with hybrids. In the end I find that tarantulas are a great example of how the whole classification of species is somewhat arbitrary since many species blend into each other, African cichlids are also a good example of this same thing.

Kaeng Krachan and Poecilotheria sp. lowland.

My current was a rescue from people that thought it would be cool to own T's but then were afraid to open her box to change her water or feed her. I watch Josh's frogs ...yes, for T's, but I was curious where you guys shop for yours. I'm in the US. I'm also finishing up a bearded dragon tank, all tanks are bioactive so I set them up and allow them to "stabilize" as if they were fish tanks. Lots of research later I'm ready to look for a bearded dragon as well. Thanks for any suggestions!

@marydouglass8194 жыл бұрын
While other comments have covered the topic thoroughly before I got here, seeing how wild caught parents can sometimes be mis-identified, and slings looking very similar. If the slings came from two different species in the same genus there are possibilities of the slings sharing combined and therefore differing DNA to both of the parents species, or (and more likely) would choose characteristics from one of the parents. However if the species of parents are confirmed to be the same, and there were no sling escapees while trying to package/remove/care for the slings, mutations due to selective breeding/inbreeding are a small possibility.
