what's a mexican stripe knee?
Scientific names make it MUCH easier for us to tell what species you are talking about.

Brachypelma annitha? B. auratum? B. boehmei? B. emilia?
which one of these do you refer to as "stripe knee"?
I am assuming that that you meant B. smithi by "mexican red knee".
Look them up and tell us, then we can give you help.

Hey Somberloathing... nice avatar. You can join Frylock and (what used to be the Lament Configuration guy) Jbrd. Hellraisers!
By the way, if you are looking at pet stores, it probably is the same species (because they have no idea what they are talking about) and the pricing is just a guess.

I agree, they probably have no idea what they are talking about. Here is a site with pics from E-Spiderworld, a great online place to buy inverts. If you are going to get one of those tarantulas, i would suggest buying from a place like it rather than from a petstore.

There are also very good dealers like Chuck from Botarby8s.com, Kelly Swift from swiftinverts.com, and Todd Gearheart from tarantulaspiders.com.Snipes said:
There also Southern Spiderworks, Northwest Inverts, and a bunch more.

Those pics are exatly the same look at the shadow and the bigger stones... It's all in the same place. How many times have you gotten two T's stand in exatly the same spot with the same lighting without the sand being changed...
I think they only changed the brightness of the Pic

lol yeah... its actually the same picture, and they did a very bad job in the digital editing. they removed green from the color palet. lol... I would have at least tried to be more deceiving lol.
