Maybe B.baumgarteni???

that looks to be it actually. I was thinking he could have a hybrid but it seems now that he could have a very special one!

But Brachypelma baumgarteni has red patellas and does not have a black triangle on the cephalothorax :biggrin:

CrystalRose's picture shows black patellas and a black triangle on the cephalothorax

Wow! She is very pretty. Looks like a Brachypelma emilia to me. :biggrin:

Lol, that one is definitely B. emilia, but the others were referencing the pictures in the OPs original post, referencing the second T as "Mexican Red Leg". Mexican Red Leg is the common name for Brachypelma emilia, which that T is not. Probably the seller intended to sell it as "Mexican Fire Leg" or Brachypelma boehmei, but the tarantula in question does look more like B. baumgarteni. It's a nice deal either way, with B. baumgarteni being a nicer find.

EDIT: There is absolutely no B. smithi pictured in this thread so far, so scratch that one off lol. And B. baumgarteni does have a darker black triangle on the prosoma, it just gets muddled by more black on the remainder of the carapace. But never mind that. The only confusion MrCrackerpants is that you're mixing up the pictures we're talking about. The picture of B. emilia is a B. emilia. We're talking about the second picture in the original thread starting post.

I try to check Craigslist every couple of days. So far I have found a pair of MF GBBs for $200, a MF L. Violaceopes for $75 and the guy also gave me a MF P. Ornata for free. My most recent haul though was $400 for 11 T's, all adults, and most were females. Oh, I also bought an MF OBT for $20, not too long ago, who is now gravid. The person that sold me the OBT also just recently offered to sell her whole collection to me for a really good price but I was too broke to buy them. I can say that it has been well worth keeping tabs on CL for T's for me. I do also see alot of rosies as well and most of the time they are super expensive.

It's not just me that thinks the "Mexican red leg" looks a little off, right? I don't think B.Emilia has that muck black on its carapace. Aren't they supposed to just have the triangle? Maybe I'm just going crazy.

That is the B. emilia.

I've gotten some pretty good deals by getting Ts on Craigslist. Last summer I got an adult GBB and Mexican Redleg from this guy for $100 for the pair, both very beautiful and good Ts. This past weekend I picked up an adult rosie with hide, water dish, substrate, and large Critter Keeper all for $15! I've never had much interest in a rosie, but for that deal I couldn't say no!
I'm just curious if anyone else checks craigslist for Ts.

The second photo that is suppose to be B. boehmei is actually the B. baumgarteni orange form hybrid as I like to call it. This is such a shame that the real baumgarteni thru out the years got bred with the B. boehmei.

Okay got ya! I did posted about that particular spider and that is the Brachypelma baumgarteni/boehmei orange form hybrid that has been bred more than once thru out the years. They are everywhere in all different sizes, now it makes me wonder how many more people are going to breed the two together again.

I got my G. Pulchripes sling for $10 on craigslist. I think I spent more on the gas to drive there than I did on the spider.

Anytime

Looks like baumgarteni to me. If that's the case, that one spider is generally worth more than what he paid for the whole deal. Very nice find.

EDIT: Or hybrid lol. Missed jose's post.

Can you provide more details?

Here is my 4.5" inch male that molted three weeks ago. If you have lots of time to read follow this thread http://www.arachnoboards.com/ab/showthread.php?248735-B.-baumgarteni it will be very useful for a lot of you guys. At first I thought I had the real baumgarteni. After doing a lot of research on my own and what has been said on the thread it is definitely hybrid. Not unless both boehmei and baumgarteni can actually be the same species Just different locality. That is a question that will remain until DNA testing gets done on the baumgarteni. The problem now that a lot of you guys will have a hard time to know the difference between the two species if in fact they are two different species. If both are two different species they are able to breed with one another and able to produce off springs.

Thanks for the added information. :biggrin::biggrin:

A very interesting read. It would appear that as time moves on the potential for more hybrids is apparent. :bruised:
