Thats a false statment right there. I invented T's! ;PBut it doesn't matter cuz my uncle invented T's, and he said it's a King Goliath Bateater.

Oh! My B man.Thats a false statment right there. I invented T's! ;P
I don't think so. I was following the thread and don't remember seeing it there originally. And wouldn't there be a note that he edited his original post? That's just strange.i saw that too. weiiird. maybe J.huff23 retracted his previous statement?
Now which do you think yours most closely resembles?I've posted this somewhere else before but I'll repeat it for the sake of this thread. I have 2 adult female "blondi" That have always looked a little different from each other.
Female # 1 , was a WC Adult import in 2006. This spider to me resembles The spider coming from Guyana often labeled as "sp. Burgundy". It seems that most of the T. blondi that we see latley look like this. It has a clean look , notice there is no long hair on the patella. This female is fresh molted in this pic.
( more sp. " burgundy" click & click.)
Female # 2 , was a WC adult import from 2002. This spider has a much "fuzzier" look, with long hairs on the patella. This spider was also fresh molted in this pic.
(more "fuzzy" blondi click and click .)
Here is what the offspring from female 2 looked like....
The hair on the patella has ben consistant since I got them, evan before and after a molt.
What does this mean...well, nothing actually haha. With out knowledge of the spiders background, not knowing what color there feet were, it dosent really matter. I'm simply showing that there are differances in adult T. blondi (other than color) that have ben imported over the years. Are they different sp. or just geographical variants of the same sp. ? I dont know. A larger sample with accurate collection data would be needed see if it ment anything. Either way I would label them different. They look like different spiders to me, anybody disagree ?
In a discussion with Martin (tarcan) , he mentioned that all the T. blondi he photographed in French Guiana had the long hair on the patella. Again , Im not claiming I know what is what, just find it interesting, as I love the big brown spiders
As for T. apophysis, I often hear people say the females are impossable to tell apart from T. blondi (or what ever they are). I must omit, once you've seen a T. apophysis in person, the differances are obvious.
Hope you all enjoyed my long post that solved nothing haha.
Peace-TP
Oh he said it. He said he shocks the elderly with a cattle prod on occasion too.I don't think so. I was following the thread and don't remember seeing it there originally. And wouldn't there be a note that he edited his original post? That's just strange.
lol, powerpuff girls. in case you are being serious abra (as opposed to sarcastic, which is where this entire thread is going) he's being sassy 'cos he didn't get the blondi he wanted, at least from what i'm seing others ID his T as.This entire thread just confuses me..
Your uncle invented T's? They're not powerpuff girls, you know..
But why fake a quote? I'm with "Booberella" .. I feel like I just stepped into the Twilight Zone.lol, powerpuff girls. in case you are being serious abra (as opposed to sarcastic, which is where this entire thread is going) he's being sassy 'cos he didn't get the blondi he wanted, at least from what i'm seing others ID his T as.
oh no, i'm not defending, if anything i agree (hence me pointing out right after joe ). i wish i had clarifications for you and abra, but i've been in and out of this thread too much. as to the OP, i believe other determining factors of "sp. burgundy" vs. blondi were discussed hereBut why fake a quote? I'm with "Booberella" .. I feel like I just stepped into the Twilight Zone.
Wow, you definitly just made thay quote up. Your not going to do well on this site with your nasty attitude and rude approach.Thanks man. I appreciate it.
No the OP made that quote up because he is having a tantrum over being confronted for being rudeI don't think so. I was following the thread and don't remember seeing it there originally. And wouldn't there be a note that he edited his original post? That's just strange.
well, that answers a couple questions. sorry i gave him the benefit of the doubt :8oWow, you definitly just made thay quote up. Your not going to do well on this site with your nasty attitude and rude approach.
I didn't think I missed that.. or that it even sounded like something you would have written.No the OP made that quote up because he is having a tantrum over being confronted for being rude
LOL! Thats actually slightly amusingOh he said it. He said he shocks the elderly with a cattle prod on occasion too.
Why is that, "Booberella"?Note to self, don't move near mr.huff when you get old..
Well I apparently shock the ederly with a cattle prod in my spare time, lol.Why is that, "Booberella"?
Im just going to sit back and let him throw his fit.Oh he said it. He said he shocks the elderly with a cattle prod on occasion too.
Good idea. :}I don't enjoy being poked with a cattle prod too much.. Now, this makes an array of comments come to mind, but I'm gonna keep quiet about what I do and don't enjoy being poked by =p
