Dont know what he was doing, but I had to get pics! He flipped back over shortly after I took these pics...lol
I knew they made them, but have never witnessed it myself or seen others post pics of it. Haha...naughty boy!! Poec54 is on a roll today clarifying his status as a comedian!! lol
As with teenage boys, male tarantulas are pretty secretive about that sort of thing.

Your spider looks like a Acanthoscurria brocklehursti is there anyway you can take a photo of your make from the dorsal view? Thanks!Dont know what he was doing, but I had to get pics! He flipped back over shortly after I took these pics...lol
ha ha ha hah ha!!!Lmfao. Maybe you could let him use the computer next time.....lol.
Yes that will work, and it's is a Acanthoscurria brocklehursti mature male.Will these work?
Thanks Jose!

I would like you to take a look at this link http://www.arachnoboards.com/ab/showthread.php?259175-Really-big-A.-genic-MM/page3 on post #36 stroll down the photos until you reach photo number 11 thru 14 you will find both mature males of the Acanthoscurria brocklehursti and Acanthoscurria geniculata. Those were my old two mature males I posted.What about it tells you its a brocklehursti vs a geniculata? From what I looked up the geniculate has "creamy" strips vs the brocklehursti has whiter strips and the geniculata tends to have a more robust abdomen. I'm curious if this is how you can tell? I read your reviews and understand you have been in this hobby a long time, so if you say its a brocklehursti, I believe you!

Immature males of the Acanthoscurria brocklehursti can look exactly the same as the females Acanthoscurria brocklehursti, patterns, color etc.. The difference is Acanthoscurria brocklehursti immature males when they reach maturity the white stripe pattern coloration on their patella becomes a black stripe.Thank you again Jose! I can clearly identify the difference now. Any time I can learn something new in this hobby, I appreciate it greatly. After more research and reading that ENTIRE post you linked me to, I still have a bit of trouble distinguishing the females. It seems the males are easier to tell apart, but the females not so much. I'm going to look again on my PC instead of my phone and maybe that will help. Also, with so much confusion out there over the years, how do we know cross breeds aren't abundant or mixed in the general population anymore? Do you think a site that has a sack registry online for breeders to log breeding projects, results, pics of the MM and MF, and more information could be a useful tool in the future? Maybe the sack can be assigned a random number (not to be duplicated ever) that would accompany any purchased or traded tarantula. This could also aid in avoiding inbreeding possibilities. Obviously, participation would be voluntary.....but I think it could be very beneficial for the hobby in the long run. I think of it a lot like the AKC litter numbers they use to register dogs to avoid inbreeding and track bloodlines. Jose, I would like to hear your opinion on this.......along with anyone else who would like to chime in on the matter.
