[Tarantula_Chick]

Well I'm still a noob when it comes to my Avicularia but I'm really trying to learn how to properly take care of her. LPS said I could take care of her like my G.Rosea's lol But thanks to you guys she's in a proper set up now.

Not sure which "she" is and I believe "she's" not mature yet or sexed lol

[hellraizor]

so if it starts molting at an excellerated speed, I shouldn't worry about it being male right? They are just fast growers in general. And now that I think about it, I don't think Ive ever seen juvie pics of fasciculatas. Just slings and adults. Hmm, go figure.

Yes, the same species that was commonly exported and sold as Avicularia sp. "Peru purple" is now commonly showing up as "A. urticans".

This name cycle with some Avics repeats itself over the years. It may be easier to export an "identified" species... hence pegging the name A. urticans on them.

LMAO!!! Do you know how long I have been trying to correctly ID this species. It all makes sense now. So are you positive on Sp. peru?

Edit:

Can anyone tell me the difference between the one I posted, A.urticans and A.sp Peru?

Here is a link.

Thanks Juan. Just to clear this up, my specimens were wild caught from Peru.

Just got a message for Rick West. I asked about his pictures and compared them to mine. This is what he said:

"Unfortunately, there is no way of knowing from an image. This species
'appears'
to be Avicularia urticans."
