[QUOTE="Kazegal, post: 198512, member: 36550"] Hello everyone! I have been lucky enough to receive a haul of 11 tarantulas for free. There was a list upfront of the several species, but once I arrived to pick the haul up, near to none of them were labelled. Some of them were easy enough to recognize and match with the list: 0.1 A. metallica 0.1 Nhandu chromatus (this one was labelled, but is also easy to recognize) 0.1 B. hamorii (this one was mislabelled as B. smithi on the list) 0.1 B. emilia 0.1 L. parahybana 0.1 A. seemanni Unfortunately I have also run into difficulties matching some of the tarantulas to the list. I have tried to take some clear pictures and am hoping some of you may chime in. Two particular tarantulas on the list were: G. rosea G. sp. Pictured below. [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/bszM0nn.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/Lb3kXMN.jpg[/IMG] Both look like G. rosea to me, although the top one better matches the rosea I already had. Also on the list was a Tliltocatl albopilosum, a tarantula of which I also already own one. I am however having difficulties matching any of the new tarantulas to my existing T. albo. Below are two pictures of two different new tarantulas I am having a hard time identifying: [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/RZ30bjb.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/rJNZLSN.jpg[/IMG] And for good measure here is a picture of the [B]juvenile[/B] T. albo I already have: [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/oeO0GHz.jpg[/IMG] Last unidentified tarantula that I am having a hard time linking to the list is this one: [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/Vdqgh79.jpg[/IMG] The tarantulas on the list that I can't link to any of my pictures are: 0.1 A. chalcodes 0.1 E. weijenberghi Any input on these [B]five[/B] hard to identify species would be great. An important disclaimer is that I will not breed any tarantulas which I cannot with certainty identify! As a bonus I also took a picture of the B.emilia: [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/uBBFlbB.jpg[/IMG] and also of the B. hamorii (which was said to be B. smithi, but the carapace and knee colors don't match up with smithi): [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/72TVnC3.jpg[/IMG] All in all I am very happy to have gotten these for free and as they say I won't look a gift horse in the mouth. I personally always make a point of labelling each enclosure as soon as the tarantula is in it. You never know when I might get sick (or worse, die) and someone has the job of trying to identify each one of these critters. [/QUOTE]
