As we all know all too well, it's not uncommon to pick up a T from a local pet store and wind up with something other than we thought we were getting. I recently (well, about 2 months ago or so anyhow) bought a T sold as a juvanile Avicularia avicularia. Not being well versed on the various ssp. of Avicularia, I was looking at a link that shows some of the various Avics on the market in hopes of seeing what the others look like and which is which, and for the life of me I fail to see a noticable difference between Avicularia geroldi, Avicularia velutina, Avicularia braunshauseni, and the "common" Avicularia avicularia!!
The pics I'm reffering to are here: http://www.vogelspinnenwelt.de/arten2.htm
Can someone enlighten me? What is the identifiable traits of each of these that would allow an owner to know for certain what he has? Also, since they appear to be so extremely similar, why do some of them cost so much more than the A. avic??
