i found this tarantula in Peru in the region of ancash at approximately 3,200 meters above sea level, heres a photohttp://www.arachnoboards.com/ab/gallery/showimage.php?i=9617&c=29

when i first found it i thought it was a Euathlus pulcherimaklaasi but it has a banded abdomen with a more robust characteristic he does not burrow but will take refuge if taunted. He is very active and a voracious feeders. i may get a pair of both sexes and try to breed them and sell them.

Hi,

Check on www.tarantulacanada.ca and go on the photo gallery, check the Theraphosidae sp.peru 2 (female) photo, I think it look like the spider you have and has you see it's not described yet.

One thing for sure, she is beautiful.

Hope that help a bit

i saw your website the tarantula does look similar is but that one looks reddish and is slimmer. Is Theraphosidae really a subfamily of tarantulas or a you just labeling them as Theraphosidae becaude you dont know the subfamily, one more thing do you know how large these tarantulas grow.

Hi,

This is not my website, it's the website of my friend;)
Theraphosidae is the family, tarantula are all part of the theraphosidae family. the theraphosidae sp."Peru" is label as is cause the genus of this specimen is not known yet.

For the size I have no idea.
