I just bought a grammstola pulchra (brazilian black velvet) and im starting to question if she is actually a haplopelma minax. Is the difference between the two easily distinguised?
the reason why i question this is because my spider has about 4 inches of substrate and one day she started burrowing under her coconut half shell...actually she made a hole the size of the shell and closed off the entrance.
now when shes handled shes very good , doesnt bite or kick her hairs.. shes a little jumpy when i first touch her but after a second shes fine.
im not sure how old she is but shes about 4.5 inches or a little under like 4 but the store owner said she is matured...
this meant nothign to me until i just remeber that the grammastola pulchra is supposed to be slighty larger then the rosea ... and my grammastola rosea is about 4.5 to 5 inches
now my question is are the differences between the two very bold?
this spider can move fast when startled but normally she just walks around whens shes on me... and is a little active when shes in her tank... but overall she very docile unlike the other spider which is said to be very aggresive and nervous...
i dont know.. much about the haplopelmaMinax so any help would be nice...
thanks a bunch
