Hello,

the female is not T.blondi.

In my opinion is this T.apophysis.

Greeting Dietmar

[craig hill]

yes it is t.apophysis, it was a mistake it was sold it as t.blondi the bts from Thomas Vinmann

[Dietmar Müller]

Hello,


Theraphosa blondi + Theraphosa apophysis

No so good idea!!!

Greeting Dietmar

In Craigs defence , he didnt know at the time he mated them so its not his fault before anyone starts having a go at him

[Taki Tsonis]

How could you tell it's a T apophysis from those pics?

[craig hill]

i didn't know this at the time but you learn from making mistakes, but the femurs on apophysis are skinnier than on blondi's

[Taki Tsonis]

So what now, has anyone ever mated blondi & apophysis before? What will the outcome likely be?

[Colin D Wilson]

I'm sure i've read there is an area around the Venezuala and Guyana borders that hybridisation occurs naturally, can't be 100% sure where i read this, possibly in an old journal, think it was "Natural History of Goliath Birdeaters" by Boris Striffler or some title similar.

hi breds

with the t's territories overlapping you would think it must of happened in the wild you can't make them mate you just introduce them
