Here I was wondering if you could name this spider the common name is Asian Goliath Birdeating Tarantula. This is not mine I wanted to see what type of speices it is because I have bidded on it. The person said it was Tame.

Great! Speices that I wanted because the 2" we had died from the stress of the bad molt he/she had a few weeks ago :(

Could it be L. Difficilis? I'm colorblind, but I thought the butt-hairs looked a little red...:?

I didn't see the pics but I already have a sub adult to adult female P.Regalis so I really didn't ask for no pics :)

A me-too post

Not that it hasn't been said already, but it certainly looks like L. parahybana in those pics and it is definitely no Asian species.

Another piece of the argument to always use the scientific name.

Definitely not an Asian T. Looks like L. parahybana to me, I could be wrong though.

I have both L. parahybana's and L. difficilis's and I was also thinking that it looks like L. difficilis. My parahybana's have same color hairs on the abdomen that they do on the legs, but my difficilis's have reddish colored hairs on the abdomen only.
