US Stripped Knee and Curly Hair ~ 5 inches

[49ers]

I have a Aphonopelma seemanni - stripped knee (unsexed) and Tliltocatl albopilosus - curly Hair (female) for sale
$60 each or $100 for both!

I'm in Virginia

That is a Lasiodora parahybana. Not an A. seemani. I know sometimes this happens when things are sold to you as a certain species or traded as such, etc. It's better to know the species true identity to better simulate that species natural environment, for breeding purposes, etc. Beautiful specimens you have and good luck with sales! How big is the L. parahybana?

That first photo looks like a curly hair x seemanni hybrid too... Though I could be wrong.

That's what I was thinking it's definitely not an albo?. . They don't have any markings on the legs like that...

Thanks for letting me know, this is what it was sold me to as

How can you tell if it's a curly hair x seemanni hybrid?

Yes but thats impossible.

That's usually how it happens.

How can you tell if it's a curly hair x seemanni hybrid?

Good question but not possible. It could be a curly hair crossed with another brachypelma (before the revision) but curly hair are known as Tliltocatl albopilosus now, instead of Brachypelma albopilosum. The Tliltocatl cannot be cross bred with a different genus (Aphonopelma seemani) but can be paired with a different species of the same genus. That's what we call a "hybrid".

Example:

Genus: Tliltocatl
Aphonopelma

Those are the two different "genus". Under each genus, you have a "species" name. These are the species names below.

Species: albopilosus
seemani


That gives you T. albopilosus and A. seemani. The first name in the scientific name is always your genus name. The second name is always your species name.

Two different "genus" cannot be paired or procreate but 2 different "species" under the same genus can.

Example: T. vagans and T. albopilosus
They are two different species under the same genus and can procreate.


The only thing is that there have been so many taxonomic revisions on so many species that it could be a possibility that the same species can be paired with another that has had a name change.


That's why it's always best to do your research.

So what do you think the first photo is?

Not sure. The stripes are prominent on the knees, though....not something you usually see on curly hair tarantulas. I mean, they are there if you look close but they aren't that prominent. It looks like a hybrid to me but I'd have to do more research to say for sure.

Looks like a shaggy E murinus

Could it be an E. Campestratus?? It’s definitely not a T. Albopilosus.

Definitely not an E. camp. They have a grayish colored carapace with pink colored setae.

Gotcha!! Thank you Casey!!
