    T id Please

    I couldn't resist it, I went up to Prestwood and bought a Indian Ornamental.

    However the guys wern't sure which one it was.

    They wern't sure whether he was a P fasciata or a P striata as someone didn't label them up properly.

    I wondered if any of you guys know?

    I have have attached a picture of the specimen.

    Either way it's gorgeous and I think now I have crossed the barrier and become a proper T keeper now

      Oh and if anyone was wondering, this isn't his enclosure, it's just while I prepare and take photos of him I popped him in here

          If it helps, it has iredecent green on tarsus of each leg.

          P Ornata?

            I think it's P. pederseni.

              and



              So almost certainly P fasciata!

                That's a pederseni, fasciata have yellow flashes on the ventral surfaces of legs I and II

                And he piled upon the whale's white hump, the sum of all the rage and hate felt by his whole race. If his chest had been a cannon, he would have shot his heart upon it.

                  Hi Kain
                  It appears to still have some juvenile coloration - how big is it?

                  Don't be too quick to settle on an ID yet - best to wait until it has grown a bit.

                  Cheers,
                  Richard

                  PS. the femur of leg-IV looks completely dark in your spider?!

                    Leg VI femur's are really dark, leg III is also.

                    It's about 3 inches when lay down in the trademark position.

                    Wow I didn't realise there would be such contrasting opinions, it's quite exciting!

                      It does look like P. pederseni to me. Ventral leg markings are the surest method for distinguishing Poec species (see link in above post), but note the distinct dorsal marking on the femur of Leg I and II in my photo below.



                      Kind regards, Michael

                        It not too uncommon in juvies Makes the description of P. vittata keep churning in my mind actually (Not to say that this specimen has anything to do with vittata!!! - rather suggesting that P. vittata may be a description of a juvenile)

                        Regards
