[QUOTE="Fuzzball79, post: 60823, member: 3190"] I still can't pronounce "Acanthoscurria" without stumbling a couple of times, lol. Maybe this helps some people: [URL='http://atshq.org/articles/beechwp1.html']http://atshq.org/articles/beechwp1.html (Scientific names and how to pronounce them) [/URL] Anyway, it depends on who I'm talking to. To non T owners it wouldn't make any sense when I tell them about my Tapiaucheneus Gigas or Avicularia Versicolor, Orange Tree Spider and Martinique or Antilles Pink Toe will do. Although I sometimes have to think hard to remember some of the common names. When at home we talk about them in nicknames mainly, Stripy(A. Geniculata), Pinkie (formerly Bluey), Orange Climby Thing, etc. [/QUOTE]
