I have two of these guys/gals and they were sold to me as T. stirmi.... They honestly don't look like T. stirmi to me, but $40 for both of them at that size I couldn't pass them up. Any thoughts?

Pm'd you shortly after posting and received no reply. Disappointed to say the least.

Look on Jamie's tarantula, swift inverts, or netbug. I believe I got mine for ~$50

Maybe, but I don't see the tiger stripes.

Mine is very aggressive and is quick to throw a threat posture. You're right about it being leggy, so it could quite possibly be a male. I'm really unsure. I've looked at countless photos and it looks very similar to a Selenocosmia, but then there are some variations in the color and patterns...

If that's the case I'm going to have to make some changes to it's housing. From what I've read they are a burrowing species, and need deep substrate. I've had trouble getting it to eat anything but crickets. What do you feed yours?

Good deal, thanks! Makes sense, considering how aggressive it is. I have yet to hear it make noise though

I've never owned a Theraphosa or a Selenocosmia. I really wasn't sure haha

Hey all, I rescued this T a couple months ago from a pet store and I'm unsure as to what it is. The only description it had was "Birdeater." I was thinking possibly a Theraphosa? Any ideas or guesses as to species? Am I wrong in thinking a Theraphosa? Thanks in advance!

Seemed a little fishy to me also...

Nice shot! :)

Hey wildweasel69, I too am interested if you still have one available for sale

I honestly considered G. pulchripes, but the stripes are not quite as "gold" as they appear to be in the pictures... However, I'd be thrilled if that were so :)

I recently acquired a few T's from a local pet store, and the lady really did not know how to take care of them :( I figured I'd save them (unfortunately one died due to dehydration), but I'm honestly not sure as to what species this one is. She was selling it as a birdeater. Any ideas?

Are the slings still available?
