Unknown Species?!

Frogo224 · Oct 24, 2014

So I went to a LPS today and got an unknown species (Which I assume to be a L. Fracta) and since it was $20 I received a freebie! Problem is, the guy just let me pick a select few out of the case, and I grabbed some random cup in the far back labeled as a "C. Par." It's a small sling about half an inch, and has curly hair. I cannot for the life of my figure out what it could be, very skittish and aggressive eater, but I'm at a lost here. Anyone have an idea?

Could the C be an L?

A picture would help.

I know that Lasi you're talking about...it might be fracta. They usually give a B. albopilosum as a freebie but it would help if you could post a picture. It's a shame they don't have the knowledge there that they used to

I know, it's quite sad that they no longer hold the same standards as to species kept and the quality.
And here's the little guy.

That could be anything.

It does appear to have leg-banding so that narrows it down.

What kind of substrate is that?

Pretty much my sentiments exactly.

Looks like you have crumbled blue cheese in that enclosure, what it that....I assume its not actually delicious blue cheese.

That's mostly why I didn't post a picture, I know it could literally be just about anything, which sucks because I am dying to know what it is.

Yeah it's not the best to use but that's what he came on, now he's on soft cocofiber!

The photo is the freebie. While I'm at it I will guess it's a Nhandu chromatus.

If it is a Nhandu it should start showing more prominent leg banding at 3/4-1 inch, as soon as mine is out of premolt I can post a picture of what I'm talking about. Which Nhandus are lovely so certainly not a disappointment.

I don't mind Nhandu's at all, I already have one and I got him at about 1 inch, and you could definitely tell it was a Nhandu.
So hopefully this little guy will grow up quick!

When you buy an unlabeled or mislabeled sling, you need to have some patience. Keep it warm and feed it often, and you can shorten the wait.

Tarantula's do definitely test your patience. In a good way though.
