Howdo?
I've been seeing a few odd named T's about, and can't work out what their sci names are, wondering if the pro's here could help me?

The first one I saw was a tiny sling, labled as a Green Velvet T.
The other I just saw a few hours ago, labled a Brazilian Green T.
Both are from seperate shops, hours apart.

Cheers

Hmmm...not a lot to go on there!

Green Velvet = Thrixopelma pruriens perhaps?

As for the Brazilian Green T, christ knows. Was it arboreal or ground-dwelling? Could be any number of Avic species etc.

The Barzilian Green could maybe be a Proshapolopus anomolus?
And I agree with Lopez on the Green Velvet
