Does this species have more potent venom than Avicularia versicolor or other Avics?
Avicularia minatrix

No one has scientifically reported the potency of the venom of those species, and most other T species for that matter. It's simply not an area of primary interest to science.
Minatrix is a GREAT species to own. I love mine. It's the only Avic that maintains the abdominal tiger striped pattern into adulthood

They're beautiful spiders, and a "dwarf" as well.
I'd vote to get one.

Avics are believed to have weak venom. Normally when you have a genus of tarantula with potent venom (Poecilotheria for example), ALL members of that genus have similar venom potency. It works the same for those that are on the opposite end of the spectrum as well. As has been stated, we know so little regarding the venom of most tarantulas, since not many people have bothered to study it.
