I agree, Maybe this one.

........ i have to do the moderator thing and remove the image as it shows intentional handling which contravenes rule 10 of our little list.
Sorry for that Lee but we have to follow these guidelines.
If you have another image you could post please edit your thread by all means.
Size wise ... to my knowledge pissi are the smaller of the two at 3 ish inch legspan and franki are slightly larger at 4+ ... no doubt a long term keeper will correct me there if i'm incorrect.Don't forget to learn what you can, when you can, where you can.

I don't think it is A pissii.. which leaves you one of the other two... I was going to say that Matt has three of the species, and might know.. but evidently not.
I think pissii is the smaller one, with a 2-3" leg span, and the frankii is the larger one.. but again, it is only 4" or so. And as I discovered, these are variable.
They are lovely spids though, look great. They aren't tarantulas, and apparently live under every rock in Chile, and web a fair bit.Comment
