Before, I bought 2 Ornithoctonus aureotibialis specimens. One of which looks like a genuine Ornithoctonus aureotibialis, while the other as seen below. I was able to sex this specimen as a definite male via exuvium and i thought that Ornithoctonus aureotibialis were dimorphic as juveniles. Turns out only when a tarantula is a MM will it look completely different from the female. I had the opportunity to see the other specimen's ventral shot and it screamed male to me. He's 2" and the same size as my other specimen but by this time I thought that he would have already gotten the same colors as my other specimen. Problem is I don't think he is a Ornithoctonus aureotibialis because he lacks the dark color found medially at at its legs. He simply looks like a gold tarantula;he lacks dark marks of a Ornithoctonus aureotibialis. What is he? ::
