[QUOTE="Casey K., post: 176884, member: 1090"] The "red flag" for me is that it was sold as a giant white knee. That is the common name for Acanthoscurria geniculata. Most of the time, when a species is sold under one genus turns out to be something completely different, it is usually a different species under the same genus. So, I looked into other Acanthoscurria species and the chacoana is what I came up with. That is definitely not Tliltocatl vagans. I have owned several. Doesn't look like any mature male Lasiodora species to me. Most of them are all super fluffy and not as "bold" as the tarantula pictured. I could be wrong as I have been before....but I have a gut feeling that's what you have. I also looked into Grammostola (iheringi and actaeon) but that's definitely not one of them. It's not uncommon for species like that to be imported from Europe. Probably a WC female had a sac and the slings were sold as a species by "locality". The mixup is not uncommon. [/QUOTE]
