So I am still new to the spiders, but I'm falling in love fast and falling pretty hard. I started with a beautiful A. versicolor a few months ago.
Since I got Frodo (versi) I've been trying to learn the names and families of different tarantulas. I went to the latest repticon over here at the fair ground and found myself with a Chaco from the NICEST and most helpful woman ever!(Now named Boris) and an A. Metallica.
Well, as I was walking around and a man asked me what i had got and so I told him. He kept saying my A. Metallica was a pink toe.
Well.. No.. the metallica is a white toe... not pink. A. Avicu is a pinktoe.. Same family, different spider.(I even double checked online to see if what I thought was correct was indeed correct.)
But now it has been bugging me all night. Was this guy right? Did I actually get an A. Avicu and NOT an A. Metallica? I know what they both look like as adults, but not as a sling.
This is what my little one looks like (photo taken from google, as it is to late and dark to get a photo of mine at the moment)
I tried to google the different slings but it was no help, it basically gave me every sling in the family. I wouldn't be mad if it was an A. Avicularia, but I would also like for it to be the A. Metallica I purchased. Any one more experienced know what I actually got? I thought I knew, but since that man said it was actually a pink toe... I've been restless about it.
Thank you.
