Regional variations, but they shouldn't be mixed. A taxonomist may come along and separate them again. Many tarantulas have had their species and even genera changed in revisions. Until there's DNA tests done on the entire family, a lot is tentative, and spiders are in the back of the line when it comes to public or private funding for such endeavors.
Didn't think about it like that. That makes a lot of sense. I recently got a freebie brocklehursti sling and was going to relable it but I'll be sure to keep it seperate now. Lord knows there's enough muddying of genes already as it is in the hobby haha
Jose always has great pics.
He sure does!
Ah! It's pretty cool to see their development from when they are born to adult. Cute little monster you have.
Yes same genus and brocklehursti is no longer a valid name for this spider. I still use the name brocklehursti but technically in the eyes of taxonomist is now Acanthoscuria sp. Therephosoides.
Same, since I got my brocklehursti I've definitely been a fan. 100% gonna have a few more in the future.Man, those are such gorgeous T's. I cannot believe that everybody in the hobby does not have at least one of those or a geniculata!
Man, I am SUCH a fan-boy of the species!
