I posted this on BN and didnt have any joy so maybe you lot here can help me?

Brachypelma andrewi No data for this one
Brachypelma angustum
Brachypelma annitha
Brachypelma auratum
Brachypelma aureoceps again no data for this! only for 1 single female
Brachypelma baumgarteni

There's a picture in our gallery of fossorium by Michael Jacobi, taken "on site" as it were, as they come from Costa Rica i would assume they'll be no exports due to 'Costas' strict export rulings of late.


Checking to see if they're all valid species, your list (in red) all show up on the World Spider Catalogue so that's good.
it seems B andrewi has had issues with being redescribed as Euathlus truculentus then moved back again (unless i read it wrong).
Have a look here...

As far as finding any examples in the hobby, i think it's down to scouring the web and using your obsessive behaviour

Hi Shaz,
If you're going to be bugging Lee can you bug him about getting some more P. murinus UMV as well? The more voices the better!!
